Steelers Minicamp Report

Here’s a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ minicamp, in One-Liner fashion. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin emphasized that the minicamps are about, “teaching,” and aren’t considered a true evaluation period. After an unproductive rookie season, LB Bruce Davis, a former third-round pick from UCLA, is aware that he has a lot to prove this year. Veteran WR Hines Ward is hoping to eventually retire as a Steeler after recently signing a contract extension. Defensive end Aaron Smith’s son is doing well after being diagnosed last year with leukemia. The Steelers have installed a pool table at team headquarters after having one in their locker room when they practiced at the University of South Florida prior to winning the Super Bowl, and OT Willie Colon said a ping pong table is on the way. Steelers LB James Farrior works at mentoring the younger players on the roster, saying, “I just want to make sure they are doing all the little things they need to do to get better.”
