OTAs to give first glimpse of Steelers rookies blended with veterans

The obvious motif of the Steelers' draft class was physicality.

On all fronts, Omar Khan and his staff selected seven players who -- as Andy Weidl worded it -- are "physical, tough, (and) love football, high-character guys, high-football-character players, guys that are resilient" to mesh with what is anticipated to be an improved roster after a proactive offseason led by Khan.

With rookie minicamp in the books, organized team activities beginning Tuesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex will give Mike Tomlin a chance to stack the blocks built by Khan.
