Remember the 2011 NFL offseason? That was the lockout year and it resulted in players not being able to participate in minicamps or OTA sessions. That resulted in most rookies around the NFL getting off to a very slow start and ultimately not contributing very much throughout the season except on special teams. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic this year, we’re likely to see a repeat of the 2011 offseason and thus the NFL’s rookie class is likely to suffer greatly once again in 2020.
In case you forgot, the Steelers 2011 draft class included defensive end Cameron Heyward, Marcus Gilbert, cornebacjk Curtis Brown, cornerback Cortez Allen, outside linebacker Chris Carter, guard Keith Williams and running back Baron Batch.
