But third-round pick Kaleb Johnson is turning heads, at least of the media who watch them. Joining 93.7 The Fan Thursday, the PPG’s Ray Fittipaldo pointed to Johnson as the rookie who’s impressed most.

“Probably Kaleb Johnson, just because he has his hands on the ball more,” he told The Fan’s Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller. “What limited things we were able to see with 11 on 11, and they don’t do a lot of 11 on 11 at OTAs.
