The Friday Night Lights practice at Latrobe Memorial Stadium for the Pittsburgh Steelers was quite intense. It featured not only a lot of hitting but a lot of chirping back and forth.
That was nowhere more present than in the much-anticipated backs-on-backers drills, where running backs and tight ends are pass protecting against linebackers and edge rushers.
The pads were popping once again, much like they have been through the first few days of padded practices at training camp, creating intense environments. On Friday night, running back Najee Harris and linebacker Patrick Queen were jawing back and forth throughout the session while Jaylen Warren tossed Elandon Roberts to the ground and stood over him, starting a bit of a skirmish.
