Minkah Fitzpatrick: Tre Norwood ‘A Very Smart Guy’ Who Doesn’t Miss Assignments

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected nine players during the 2021 NFL Draft. Eight of them made the 53-man roster. Six or seven of them are likely to dress for the season opener, with fifth-round defensive lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk the most likely to sit, followed by fourth-round linebacker Buddy Johnson.

Five rookies will be in the starting lineup, at least. Seventh-round “Swiss Army knife” Tre Norwood is not likely to be counted among the starters, himself. But he has consistently made a positive impression on his coaches and teammates since he’s gotten here, to the point where there has seemingly never even been a question of his making the team.
