There are still a number of items on the agenda for the Pittsburgh Steelers entering training camp, questions to answer. At least a handful of starting jobs are set in something less long-lasting than stone, let’s say, and one of them is the strong safety position following the departure of five-year starter Terrell Edmunds.
Yet numerous times this offseason, we’ve seen hints of one candidate being favored over the other. At least in my perambulations around Steeler Nation, they have been leaning increasingly toward Keanu Neal over Damontae Kazee.
Such speculation was even featured on the team’s YouTube channel via a training camp preview video segment featuring KDKA personalities such as Bob Pompeani, Charlie Batch, and Rich Walsh, with Neal projected to replace Edmunds.
