The Pittsburgh Steelers filled several big holes in the 2021 NFL Draft, but here’s why they may be asking too much of their rookies this year.
The Pittsburgh Steelers could be in the closing year of a Super Bowl window that began with Ben Roethlisberger all the way back in 2004. With so much on the line in 2021, they are entering a very interesting situation.
Because of losses at the center, tight end, and running back positions – positions that were deemed weak following the 2020 season – the Steelers could have three offensive rookies that will be forced to step in and play pivotal roles for the team in 2021.
