The Pittsburgh Steelers got a look into the future by giving their young offensive linemen a chance to work together.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to have a bit of fun on the final day of mandatory minicamp at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. Many of the seasoned veterans that will carry the majority of the workload for this team got the day off from team drills and to fill their places, the Steelers called on their depth to fill in the gaps.
"Last day of mandatory minicamp, ... the two’s became the one’s, three’s became the two’s today, so we were able to just go out there and compete and the biggest thing was just competing for your opportunity because it is an opportunity when you get reps like that," Fautanu said. "The more reps I get, the more prepared I’ll be going into camp.”
Fautanu got some more reps at right tackle, a new position that he expects to become permanent by the time training camp arrives. Fraizer got to throw snaps back to the Steelers' top quarterback. Anderson continued his switch to right guard with some much needed snaps and McCormick stepped up to play with the one's as well for the first time. Then Jones, a starter last season, was able to play the anchor and work on chemistry with these potential line mates somewhere down the road.
“It is good. Although we never know what the future holds, just being able to get in with the young guys because they’re always asking questions, trying to get better and be able to do the best that they can," Jones said. "So when they’re finally able to get in there and do it instead of trying to figure it out from an older guy like Isaac or James Daniels. They can just get a feel for the speed of the game and that’s a good thing.
