Daniel McCullers is hoping to prove that a football player can continue to grow and develop well into the heart of his career. A sixth-round pick back in 2014 for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was described at the time as “a size prospect” and “an obstruction”. In truth, he hasn’t been much more than that during the five years that he has been here. Could this be the year that that changes?
McCullers told Chris Adamski during a recent practice that he has been getting a healthy amount of reps in the nickel defense, which has become the Steelers’ primary front over the past several years.
