Though we have been all-in on this year’s rookie class, I wanted to circle back and look back on the 2015 group. Steelers.com had a great segment, sitting down Bud Dupree, Sammie Coates, and Jesse James to look back on their rookie seasons. Over some Primanti Brothers’ sandwiches, naturally.
With how little of a contribution the Pittsburgh Steelers got from the group, there wasn’t an overwhelming amount of information. But even that lack of playing time made for an interesting point made by Coates.
“Rookie year was terrible,” the third round pick said.
