It has been an interesting year for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookies. After receiving nearly unanimous praise as one of the league’s best draft classes, injuries have limited the contributions of multiple notable rookies. Even with those injuries, the rookie class has showed up in a big way, just not the players most expected before the season began.
OT Troy Fautanu made one start before a knee injury effectively ended his season. WR Roman Wilson only suited up for one game, but a training camp ankle injury and now a hamstring injury have more or less forced him into a redshirt year.
