Kendrick Green Steelers’ Non-Day 1 Rookie ‘Who Could Shine’

Though he remains unsigned at this point, Pittsburgh Steelers’ third-round draft pick Kendrick Green has plenty of high expectations entering the 2021 season.

His latest expectation from the national media is to become a rookie breakout player, according to CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso, who pegged the Illinois product as the Steelers’ rookie who could shine in 2021 as a non-Day 1 draft pick.

Green edged out tight end Pat Freiermuth, linebacker Buddy Johnson, tackle Dan Moore Jr., defensive back Tre Norwood, defensive lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk, and punter Pressley Harvin III for the distinction from Trapasso.
