One of the traits that drew the Pittsburgh Steelers to veteran quarterback Mitch Trubisky in free agency was his overall athleticism and mobility inside and outside of the pocket. During his time with the Chicago Bears, Trubisky brought an added element to the offense.
Through two games with the Pittsburgh Steelers as the starting quarterback, that mobility hasn’t quite played a factor that the Steelers — or Trubisky — were hoping it would.
Sure, he’s moved the chains a few times with his legs and has allowed second-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada to call some of the designed rollouts to generate easy completions, but too often early in the year the veteran quarterback hasn’t trusted himself to utilize his legs and search for the splash plays on breakdowns.
