Tomlin Likes Vet Presence On Special Teams; Now Wants Young Players To State Preseason Cases

The Pittsburgh Steelers moved on from a few of their core special teamers from the 2018 season this past offseason as wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey and inside linebacker L.J. Fort weren’t re-signed. Because of the loss of those two key core special teams members from last season, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked during his Wednesday press conference if that’s something that he’s cognizant of and if there are now certain guys that he wants to see more in that phase of the game of during the team’s preseason contests.
