The Pittsburgh Steelers came out on top in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, and they did so with some significant contributions from rookie players. Two of the team’s first three draft picks were either unavailable or not starting because of recent injuries, but those who did play were largely impressive in their NFL debut.
Today, I will go through each of the Steelers’ rookies and give a brief analysis of their play including some of what they did well and some of what they need to work on. I am only including the players who played in the game.
