Many people find themselves living and dying with every minor development when they’re passionate enough about something. Pittsburgh Steelers fans certainly fit the bill. When second-year WR Calvin Austin III had a rough outing on the first day of training camp practices, it made headlines—even I wrote about it, albeit while noting its likely very temporary status.
That is exactly what it proved to be, as in the several practices since then, he has continued to get better and better. Outside of OTAs and minicamp earlier this year, that was Austin’s full-on first practice session in nearly a year, so perhaps there were some jitters or even rust at play.
