Player: DL Yahya Black
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: Rookie DL Yahya Black is already earning praise, and less so for his size than for his relentless motor. Already fitting the bill for a Steelers defensive lineman, he doesn’t stop until the play is over. Chasing a screen to the sideline, he isn’t afraid to make his 336-pound frame move. If the Steelers really intend for him to play up and down the line, that attribute will certainly be necessary.
The rookies are looking pretty good so far during training camp, and that includes Yahya Black, the Steelers’ fifth-round draft pick.
