The Pittsburgh Steelers certainly appear destined to have rookie center Kendrick Green be their Week 1 starter when the team plays the Buffalo Bills a little more than three weeks from now. Ahead of that Week 1 game happening, Green, the team’s third round draft pick this year out of Illinois, has been forced to sharpen his skills against the likes of veteran defensive linemen Cameron Heyward and Tyson Alualu during training camp practices.
After Thursday’s training camp practice at Heinz Field ended, Heyward spoke to the media, and he was asked to describe what’s been like going against the rookie Green so far and if he’s going out of his way to get the young center ready for some bull-rushes he’s likely to see from opposing team’s once the regular season gets underway.
