Pittsburgh Steelers special teams play a pleasant surprise

Through the last few seasons, the special teams unit has not been the greatest strength of the Pittsburgh Steelers to put it lightly. A goal of the off-season was to change that narrative in 2017.

Many times, teams fill their special teams units with rookies and young players looking to make the team any way they can. Veterans also inhabit the underappreciated unit from time to time.
