‘That’s What Helps Build Us As A Team’: Jaylen Warren Embracing Competition Aspect Of Padded Practices

Iron sharpens iron, and that is most certainly the case during training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, especially when the pads come on for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

On Tuesday, the pads came on and the hitting started quickly as head coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers dove right into the competitive periods of practice with Seven Shots and the attention-heavy backs-on-‘backers drills.

For third-year running back Jaylen Warren, the competition periods are intense and can get heated, but that’s where the team comes together and camaraderie is built.

“Yeah, there’s a lot of competition that comes with it, but that’s what helps us build as [a] team,” Warren said to reporters, according to video via the Post-Gazette on YouTube.
