The Steelers assembled last week for their mandatory mini-camp at the Rooney Sports Complex in Pittsburgh. It was a relatively low-key affair, as “football-in-shorts” season often is. Reports on the schemes being installed or anything pertaining to X and Os were prohibited, which left fans combing through still photos of players lining up in their stances or short video clips of small-group work. Not exactly the most compelling stuff. Still, there were plenty of storylines to consider, and numerous interviews to digest, which fans and media-types did so readily.
Some of the more interesting comments came from Steelers’ coaches in reference to the team’s second-year players.
