Don’t look now, but the Steelers have a punter competition on their hands, at least according to HC Mike Tomlin. Previewing tomorrow night’s game, he confirmed that Cameron Johnston and Corliss Waitman will battle for the job. Of course, saying there’s a competition doesn’t always mean that there actually is one, or much of one, at least.
“We intend on using both punters, and we’ll trade punt for punt”, Tomlin said of Johnston and Waitman, via the Steelers’ website. “We’re probably gonna be in that posture until we get clarity, or throughout the preseason. It’s highly competitive.
