Master Teague III Says His ‘Thumper’ Running Style Will Help Him Make The Team

Prior to taking the practice field Thursday, newly signed Pittsburgh Steelers RB Master Teague III took time to talk to the media for the first time after the team signed him yesterday after Jeremy McNichols got placed on IR with a shoulder injury.

When asked what he brings to the table in terms of help his chances to make the roster, Teague responded immediately with his strongest skill set as a runner: his strength and power.

“Thumper, man,” Teague said to reporters after practice on video via Steelers Live on Twitter. “You know, north-south runner. Like I can gain him hard yards, the YAC yards and I think that’s a plus of mine.
