Even If Yahya Black’s Role Changes, His Mindset Won’t

Rookie defensive lineman Yahya Black isn’t worried about depth charts or a potential new role following Derrick Harmon’s injury. He’s only worried about one thing: doing his job and staying healthy. Black was more than just another lineman fighting for a roster spot this preseason. He had the smile, the energy, and yes – the belly celebration – throughout the summer.

When asked if Harmon’s absence might change his role, Black brushed it off.

“I’m just doing what I need to do and staying healthy and getting on the field,” he told reporters after Saturday’s practice, via the Steelers’ YouTube channel.
