Ben Sauls is going out with a bang. Though he’s not going to make the 53-man roster, he put together good tape in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. In a night defined by otherwise sloppy play, Sauls was consistent from start to finish. He ended the game 4-of-4 with a long of 50 yards, earning praise from Mike Tomlin after the Steelers’ 19-10 win.
“Really happy for Ben Sauls,” Tomlin told reporters via the team’s YouTube channel. “The work he was able to show us tonight, man, good for him.”
A rookie from Pitt, Sauls has seen the majority of training camp and preseason work while Chris Boswell’s leg has been rested – and as he seeks a revised contract.
