The Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up their 2019 mandatory minicamp practices on Thursday and tackle Jerald Hawkins was able to participate in them in some capacity this year after not being able to do so a year ago because of a torn quad that he had suffered during an OTA practice. Not only did Hawkins get to participate some in this year’s OTA and mandatory minicamp practices, he also reportedly did so at multiple positions.
According to Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Thursday, Hawkins, who was originally selected by the Steelers in the fourth-round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of LSU, not only practiced some at both tackle spots during the team’s offseason practices, but some at guard as well.
