While the players enjoy their day off today, and Alex and I enjoy a break from the treacherous humidity at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa, I thought I would jot down some thoughts on how the Pittsburgh Steelers rookie class has looked in their first two training camp practices.
Obviously it is incredibly early in the development process for each of these players, but I would urge you to be especially hesitant reading into the early reports on any of the front seven defensive players. Without full pads and with most players not really going 100 percent just yet, not much can be gleaned from this group’s play until Wednesday, when the practice should be full-contact.
