The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first preseason game came and went, and several players had nice performances. Two of those came from the secondary, and both were newcomers in Brandin Echols and Juan Thornhill. Speaking after Monday’s training camp practice, Mike Tomlin offered some praise for those two specifically.
“I’ve been pleased with the progress of those two that you mentioned,” Tomlin said, via Steelers.com. “Not only Saturday night, but just in general. We’ve acquired some high-profile guys; some guys with big resumes that get a lot of attention. But those two, and those two in particular, have done a really nice job learning what to do, letting their talent show, bringing a competitive spirit to our work daily.
