The Pittsburgh Steelers have been counting on significant contributions from their rookie draft class this year; while things could be better, by and large, they are getting them. That includes even the defensive side of the ball, with seventh-round defensive back Tre Norwood playing a role of varying size in sub-packages.
Though he only played 15 snaps during Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, he made a big impact in that limited space, recording three defensive stops on third down, including two in the first quarter alone. One might think that would lead to a bigger role in the second half of the year.
