Through the first couple weeks of training camp, no one expected the hot name to be Pittsburgh Steelers C Kendrick Green. Green turned head when he took snaps at fullback during the team’s Friday Night Light practice, pancaking a couple defenders as a lead blocker while also catching a pass for a nice gain. The usage continued through the next couple days of practice, seeing more work as a lead blocker while also carrying and catching the football.
When asked if he feels this training camp is an important one for him, Green responded that he knows what’s at-stake and wants to provide as much value to the team as possible to cement his spot on the 53-man roster.
