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.
