Although Zach Gentry will remind many Pittsburgh Steelers’ fans of Matt Spaeth, a man who functioned as a glorified offensive tackle and blocker, tight ends coach James Daniel believes there’s work to be done with the newest Steelers’ draft pick.
“He was a quarterback so I would say he’s a little more depth at the receiving end of it,'” Daniels told reporters. “He’s got some adjusting to do to become a good blocker. But I think the kid is excited about it and willing.”
Gentry, like Heath Miller many moons ago, played quarterback in high school before making the switch when he arrived at Michigan.
