Today I’m starting a new series with 2023 training camp underway. The goal of these articles is to take news we are hearing, be it a quality practice, where players are lining up, etc., and using that as a launching board to learn more about our 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers. One caveat before I dive in: We, of course, do not want to make huge proclamations in the short-term and instead want to see how the entirety of camp unfolds.
One thing that stood out from the first day of training camp was Pittsburgh cornerback Duke Dawson getting the first reps in the slot, which was surprising to many even though it is a position that is up for grabs and a big question mark for the Steelers in 2023.
