LATROBE, Pa. -- In front of about 12,000 fans under the Friday night lights of Latrobe Memorial Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers conducted a nearly 2½ practice. The highlight was, once again, what's called the backs-on-backers drill.

Seventh-round rookie Tyler Matakevich was the star of the drill.
