“I’m ready to see Dri Archer do something. I’m excited for him. We need to go past the 15 on kickoff returns. That would be awesome.”
Center Maurkice Pouncey uttered those words one week ago when the Steelers reported to training camp, but any member of the Steelers fan base likely said the same thing on any number of occasions Archer attempted to return a kickoff in 2014.
Pouncey was exaggerating, but only by a little. According to Football Outsiders, the average starting field position for the Steelers last season was the 25.2, third worst in the league.
