Steelers Burning Questions: Sophomore Jump, or Slump?

There is always excitement about the incoming draft class and how each prospect possibly fits into the Steelers’ particular scheme.

Just as the rookie class has impact on the future of the team, there is one particular group that always draws my attention.

The Sophomores.

You know, those second year players who are slated to make that big jump in production. But you also have to wonder if it will resemble a slump, more than a jump.

Let’s take a look at the players entering their second year, both from the 2019 NFL Draft, and those who went undrafted:
