The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the 2020 season with the mentality of not relying on any of their rookie class to step into key roles right away. There were several factors which led to this mentality, but the Steelers have often tried to not count too much on their rookies. Yes, 2019 was an exception with the Steelers trading up into the top 10 to draft Devin Bush. But between not having a first round pick in 2020 due to the trade for Minkah Fitzpatrick coupled with the lack of on-the-field-preparation during the offseason, the Steelers were not counting on their 2020 rookie class in order to be successful this season.
