Yahya Black could play a significant role in his Steelers debut, with starter Derrick Harmon already being ruled out. For weeks, we have heard that he looks like a steal as just a fifth-round draft pick. While they might have to find out sooner than they hoped, DC Teryl Austin sees a lot of potential in “Big Sexy”.
“I think he’s had some early success because he’s a huge individual and he’s strong, and he uses his hands, Austin said of Black, via the Steelers’ media department. “When you’re an interior type of guy that has that size and length, when you use your hands and you’re powerful, you can get rid of blocks, spin off blocks, and it makes yourself available to make plays”.
