Rookie Claypool Doing His Best To Stay Humble, Focused, Out Of Roethlisberger’s Way

Is Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool this year’s training camp darling? While it’s hard to say for sure when most of us aren’t able to watch the team’s practices, the praise for Claypool from several of his teammates and coaches since training camp got underway, along with the various and numerous reports of him making plays every practice, sure makes it seem like the Notre Dame product is indeed this year’s training camp phenom. Recently, Claypool, the Steelers first draft selection this year, was interviewed by Missi Matthews of steelers.com and almost immediately he was asked if he’s hearing the same positive things internally that his coaches and teammates have been relaying to the media the last several weeks.
