Taco Charlton made his Pittsburgh Steelers’ debut Sunday and according to teammate Joe Schobert, Charlton more than held his own. Speaking with reporters Monday, Schobert said Charlton’s play more than met the team’s next-man-up standard.
“I don’t think there was much drop-off at all when taco was in the game,” Schobert said in audio provided by the team. “He came in and that’s what pretty much every NFL coaches is. The next man up philosophy. You better be ready when your opportunity presents itself. Because an opportunity will present itself. And if you step into it and do your job, you’re going to be in the league for a long time.
