As the Pittsburgh Steelers try to rebound from a disappointing season, these three players have something to prove in training camp.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are focused on trying to return to the playoffs and make a deep run in 2019. However, some players need to focus more on their performances in training camp rather than what the team will accomplish this season.
The Steelers have an extremely talented roster that boasts some of the best talents in the NFL. With that being said, there are plenty of non-star players who still have a lot to prove on the team. Training camp is an excellent opportunity for players to show what they are capable of. It allows them to secure roster spots or even move up the depth chart and gain snaps when the preseason or regular season come around.
Pittsburgh has a lot of developing players who have been sheltered by star veterans over the past couple of seasons. However, now that some of those veterans are no longer on the team, it’s time for the younger players to prove themselves worthy of the investment the Steelers have made in them.
This article isn’t focused so much on the players who could get cut if they perform poorly. Instead, this article focuses on players who will gain the most from proving their capabilities this summer. That includes moving up the depth chart, setting up a new contract or simply earning more snaps.
In particular, the following players have a lot to gain and prove in training camp this year.
