With Antonio Brown now gone, a lot of the focus around the Pittsburgh Steelers has been placed on quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his wide receivers, for obvious reasons. After all, when you suffer a major loss in one area, what people want to know is how that void is going to be filled, and that tends to come from the same source.
That’s not necessarily so, according to Roethlisberger. Obviously tight end Vance McDonald is expected to play a bigger role than ever this season after setting career highs with 50 receptions for 610 yards and four touchdowns last year, but the quarterback was also really excited about the guys behind him.
