Rookie minicamp is set to kick off for the Pittsburgh Steelers, in which, among others, all of their recent draft picks will be participating in their first on-field action as a professional. Though it’s not exactly going to be rigorous on the physical front, largely instructional in nature, this is just the first steps in what they all hope will be a long journey.
Regardless of their draft status, all of them come in with some kind of chip or another on their shoulder. None of them have ever competed on the professional level before, so they all have something to prove, not just to their coaches and their teammates, but to themselves as well.
