Slowly but surely, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been getting their rookies involved in their gameplan. Of the six on the roster, five have been active in some form or fashion, with the exception of seventh-round reserve lineman Spencer Anderson.
The other rookie with the least amount of activity? Broderick Jones, the first-round tackle they traded up to get. He has nine total snaps, five of which are on special teams. And he only got four snaps on offense in the opener because of an injury. But the Steelers are open to getting him more involved naturally. It’s something I’ve talked about, the extra lineman role, the tackle-eligible tight end.
