The preseason is the time for the sleepers to awaken, and the Steelers had a few of them last night. Particularly, a trio of rookie and first-year skill position players stood out for the offense last night. Now, I can’t say that any of them are definitely pushing for a roster spot, but they are stating their case.
Of the three sleepers, the most notable Steelers performance for me was undrafted rookie WR Ke’Shawn Williams. On two receptions, he produced a game-high 55 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown. While that score game late in the game—and the winning points—it was still an impressive play.
