As of now, CB Jalen Ramsey and P Cameron Johnston are both wearing No. 5 Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys. Relaxed training camp rules allow for two players on different sides of the ball to wear the same number. But once both make the roster, there can be only one No. 5. As one of the team’s biggest offseason acquisitions, it’ll of course go to Ramsey. But Johnston is getting something out of the eventual switch, too.
Speaking to reporters like The Trib’s Joe Rutter after reporting to training camp Wednesday, Ramsey said in exchange for the digits, he’ll perform community and charity work on Johnston’s behalf.
