Entering each training camp, there are typically only a handful of roster spots that are truly open. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the most wide open battle could be along the defensive line. The team usually tries to keep six, doing just that in three of the last four years.
Only four players have locked up a spot. The three surefire starters: Steve McLendon, Cameron Heyward, and Stephon Tuitt. Daniel McCullers showed too much progression in year one to think he’s in danger of not making the roster.
From there, it’s all guesswork.
