The Pittsburgh Steelers got a big game out of their rookie outside linebacker Tuzar Skipper in the preseason finale tonight as he makes one final push to make the 53-man roster. While his two sacks (giving him five in total) were big, more significant for him was the fact that he registered two tackles on special teams.
But he wasn’t the only rookie outside linebacker showing his best in the final hour. Sixth-round pick Sutton Smith, who hasn’t gotten the chance to do much at all up to this point, also had a nice night for himself, getting to the quarterback a few times, though he was officially only credited with half a sack.
