There’s an old adage spoken by some respected coach or another, which says that for every rookie that you’re starting, you can expect to lose two games. The Pittsburgh Steelers have four rookies starting on offense, and they’re well on their way to living up to that prophecy.
At the same time, rookies are typically starting because you don’t have better options, and I think that can be said for at least half of the Steelers’ rookie starters, their top picks, running back Najee Harris and tight end Pat Freiermuth. A case could be made against Kendrick Green and Dan Moore Jr.
