It’s not an issue unique to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And it’s one we’ve harped on plenty. But it’s one worth repeating again and again. This rookie class will face a challenge unlike most others. Mike Tomlin acknowledged as such on the Beyond The Lights podcast with Jalen Buck McCain.
“Man, I’ll be honest with you,” Tomlin told the podcast. “I have big time concerns about their development and readiness. Not only our rookies but all rookies. So from that standpoint, it’s fair.”
Fair? Yes. But still, quite a challenge.
Ever since getting drafted, this rookie class has been sitting at home waiting for the all-clear to come to Pittsburgh, something that probably won’t happen for at least another two months.
