Shedeur taking a shot at a departing player isn’t some end-of-the-world character concern.

It’s more of a “wtf is wrong with you” thing. Why are you being petulant right now? Everybody that comes into the program has to like your head coach because he’s your daddy?

Childish.

Case you missed it during all the draft excitement, Friday’s feature on first-rounder Troy Fautanu. His Steelers roots at the lunch table, piano skills, mean streak and why his college strength coach does have one concern — and it’s not his injury history: post-gazette.com/sports/steeler…

Back in 2018 when Roman Wilson and Nick Herbig made Hawaii's version of the Fab 22 as juniors. Now they're teammates in the NFL with the Steelers (via Star-Advertiser)

This reminds me of an NFL pro day but even less efficient. Everyone bringing their own radar gun when they could just share one reading (or a few, even).

The Steelers drafted three offensive linemen for the first time since 2012 when Dave DeCastro, Mike Adams and Kelvin Beachum all started games as rookies. What's in store for Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick? post-gazette.com/sports/steeler… via Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

More can always materialize but it’s a small initial UDFA class for Steelers:

CB Beanie Bishop of WVU
RB Daijun Edwards of Georgia
QB John Rhys Plumlee of UCF
OLB Julius Welschof of Charlotte
LB Jacoby Windmon of Michigan State

Plumlee also played some WR while at Ole Miss.

One of the three local cornerbacks who took pre-draft visits to the Steelers, WVU’s Beanie Bishop is the one who lands here in their UDFA class. Tons of plays on the ball last year and might have a decent chance of competing at nickel.

Michigan transfer is a 6-6, 266-pound 27-year-old from Germany who will try to crack a deep Steelers defensive line.

Ok let’s see who the Steelers sign as their camp arm. And there’s usually a UDFA running back, edge rusher or slot corner with a chance to stick. Rookie camp right around the corner!
