We are five days, or rather five practices, into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2022 edition of training camp. A lot of things about it are different from prior years, starting with a reversion back to the familiar venue of Saint Vincent College. The biggest difference, though, is the absence of Ben Roethlisberger, and a whole crop of new quarterbacks.
Spectators—including reporters—have been monitoring changes to the proceedings at the position closely because of these circumstances. It became a big deal when at the end of last week’s practices, for example, rookie first-round pick Kenny Pickett took one single rep in the ‘seven shots’ goal-line drill.
