We all have our yearly rituals. Your uncle burning the hot dogs ever 4th of July cookout. Tom Brady wearing something ghastly at some snobby party. Mike Tomlin going on and on about the importance of conditioning at the start of every training camp.
For me, it’s a reminder that every player who hits the Pittsburgh Steelers’ field this weekend has a chance to make a name for himself. There’s a little more than 50 players on this weekend’s rookie minicamp roster. Some aren’t in danger of getting cut. The draft picks, some of the first year players angling to get onto the 53 man roster.
