Maurkice Pouncey: ‘We Haven’t Had A Lot Of Stories In The Media And That’s Usually A Good Thing’

The first day of training camp has finally arrived for the Pittsburgh Steelers but the atmosphere and environment seems to be very different than years prior. The practice field is being used for football and not as a helicopter landing pad, any whispers of contract holdouts have also vanished as the Steelers get back to what they do best – playing football.

Centre Maurkice Pouncey arrived to Latrobe earlier this morning and the veteran offensive lineman was asked if he had a different feeling entering camp this year.

“I always feel the same, get that anxious feeling, wondering what day one is going to be like, what all the guys have done in the offseason but this is an exciting time when football gets back and if you really love it then you love being here,” says Pouncey.
