If there’s one constant in covering the Steelers, it’s that this is the most common question: How do the rookies look?

After all, it’s “football in shorts,” as Mike Tomlin likes to say, and the team isn’t permitted to do any real blocking, tackling or other true football-type stuff for most of the program. It’s mostly a glorified 7-on-7 drill, which is good for working on the passing game both offensively and defensively, but not as much for the linemen on both sides of the ball.
