Rookie Sutton Smith continues to see reps at fullback during OTAs

When the Pittsburgh Steelers selected defensive end Sutton Smith in the sixth-round of the draft, it was always expected that the undersized defender would need to change positions to make it at the next level. But few fans could have envisage that would involve moving to the offensive side of the ball.

Measuring in at under 6-foot-1 and just 233-pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine, his size suggested a conversion to outside linebacker, and while he has seen reps with that group this offseason, it appears that the Steelers continue to be interested in seeing what he can do as a fullback.
