As is usually the case in a Pittsburgh Steelers preseason opener, several young and relatively unknown players had good initial showings. The Steelers 2017 preseason opening win over the New York Giants included a few such instances and head coach Mike Tomlin wasn’t shy about praising a few of those standout players after the game.
While Tomlin had generally positive things to say about draft picks T.J. Watt and Joshua Dobbs after the win over the Giants, he also noted that he was pleased with a few other young players on the roster.
