Yesterday, I brought to you good news about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie draft class. All of their top three draft picks are in the starting lineup, with first-round cornerback Artie Burns at right cornerback, second-round safety Sean Davis at strong safety, and third-round defensive tackle Javon Hargrave at nose tackle in the 3-4 defense, but primarily as a nickel defensive tackle.
All three rookies are playing nearly all, or at least a majority, of the Steelers’ defensive snaps at this point of the season, with the group combining to play something like 170 snaps on Sunday.
