This weekend’s Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie minicamp will have most attention on the team’s draft picks. First round pick Broderick Jones and his first NFL practice snaps. CB Joey Porter Jr. and his unusual length. TE Darnell Washington, who everyone is finding out is really, really big.
But the bulk of the group is made up of tryout players. There’s 33 of them that makes up the majority of the practice roster and speaking with reporters Saturday, Mike Tomlin explained what he’s looking from that group in order for them to make the team.
“I think the thing that you look for when you’re talking about a tryout guy is the things that you can’t coach,” he said in audio captured and shared by 93.
