When it came to their offseason approach, one of the things that the Pittsburgh Steelers actively looked for this spring and summer was the opportunity to add the right piece to the tight end group in what they regarded as a weak draft class for the position, with an eye toward the future.
Perhaps an emphasis should be placed on the final clause of that opening statement, as it does not appear that rookie fifth-round draft pick Jesse James should expect to play in a game any time soon, if last week’s inactive status is any indication to go by.
