Steelers’ continuity paramount heading into 2020

HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- The coronavirus pandemic has thrown a wrench into the sports world since mid March, but as the NFL prepares for the 2020 regular season, there are some changes taking place.

No minicamps.

No OTAs.

No physical repetitions.

Sure, there were virtual OTAs, playbooks sent out and plenty of virtual meetings, but the fact remains new players to a team are going to be in for a whirlwind when training camp starts at the end of July. Whether it is a rookie or a free agent acquisition, these players will have just weeks to get acclimated to their new surroundings and teammates.
