In a healthy defensive rotation, Steelers rookie DL Yahya Black is playing about a third of the snaps. That’s a comfortable range for him as he grows. And DL coach Karl Dumbar is confident he’ll continue to do so, convinced they found a bargain. A fifth-round pick, he has already played 112 snaps this season. Speaking to reporters this past week, Dunbar explained why he believes Black was available so late.
“We were lucky enough to get him in the fifth round because some of his college tape didn’t really show who he was”, he said of Yahya Black, via the Steelers’ website.
