The local pro football writers face a dilemma today unequaled in 33 years when they cast their ballots for the Steelers rookie of the year.
At least we have choices this time and none is a punter or a third-stringer tied strictly to special teams play. Those guys have won it in the past. At times, we had to hold our noses when we voted and would have preferred not call it the Joe Greene Great Performance Award in some years.
We have three worthy rookie candidates in Artie Burns, Sean Davis and Javon Hargrave, and there’s not a punter or third-stringer who is going to win it.
