It might just be football in shorts, where the tempo is slower and intensity is lighter, but don’t tell that to Elandon Roberts.
The veteran linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers likes to play fast and intense. Most importantly, he likes to bring physicality any time he’s on the field playing football.
For some, that can be annoying, especially when Roberts is being physical during Organized Team Activities and mandatory minicamp. Not the Steelers though.
According to Steelers’ defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, who spoke to reporters Wednesday following a minicamp practice, Roberts is a player that is a heck of a leader and really endears himself to his teammates due to his physicality and searching it out — even in the offseason.
