In Defense Of Jack Sawyer

Related Topics: James Pierre, Derrick Harmon

There’s been a groundswell of optimism over the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie class. Even if marred by injury, DL Derrick Harmon looked the part this summer. Kaleb Johnson didn’t light the world on fire but got better each time inside a stadium. Yahya Black might be a Day Three steal. Will Howard had his first camp interrupted by a broken finger but looked composed before exiting. Fourth-round OLB Jack Sawyer earned summer buzz that’s faded over the course of three preseason games. A twinge of disappointment that he didn’t post gaudy numbers or impact plays. Both of those fair assessments.
