Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made it clear on Wednesday that young players such as wide receiver Mathew Sexton still have a shot making the team’s 53-man roster with a solid performance in the team’s Friday night preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers.
“That’s the beauty of this process,” Tomlin said when asked about Sexton on Wednesday. “We were studying the history of the series this morning in the team meeting and talking about what a platform this game is for guys to springboard to success. We talked about a guy about ten years ago named Stefan Logan that nobody knew and really didn’t have a position, but he kept adding in the return game.
