Film Room: Derwin Gray’s First Meaningful Snaps

2020 has been a unique year in itself, included in that uniqueness is the Steelers’ entire 2020 draft class seeing snaps in regular season games. The “next man up” mentality has more than run its course for the Steelers this year. Last Monday, against the Cincinnati Bengals, it was time for a 2019 draft pick to step up. Derwin Gray was a tackle out of Maryland drafted in the seventh round of the draft with the 219 overall pick. After spending all of 2019 and part of 2020 on the Steelers’ practice squad, he’s finally seeing some game action mid-way through his second season.
