In Final Push For Roster Spot, John Rhys Plumlee Hopes To Make Splash Play

It’s not over until it’s over. Rookie QB John Rhys Plumlee might have long roster odds but as FB Roosevelt Nix and others have shown before, a spot on the 53 can be captured in a preseason finale. Speaking to reporters following Thursday’s practice, the versatile and athletic Plumlee talked up the chances of creating a splash play in the return game.

“It’s been fun,” Plumlee told reporters via Steelers.com. “It’s been a learning curve. I feel like we’ve gotten better every week. Hopefully gonna continue in that trend. Hopefully try to pop a big one this week.
