A Sleeper Need for the Steelers
from Steelers Central Hosted by Ricky Turner
In this episode of Steelers Central, the Steelers have become one of the NFL's biggest QB carousels as of late, with five consecutive seasons featuring a new opening-week QB. They have become the very thing they have made fun of for the past two decades: a team that has been unable to develop a QB and is turning to various veterans who are past their prime or not good enough. The team has also been scouting some of the top safeties in the draft, which may seem like an unusual move, but upon examining the future, it becomes clear. The team has one more year of Deshon Elliot before they must extend him, and Minkah Fitzpatrick has a $24 million dollar cap hit next year. The Steelers may face some tough decisions, and if the board does not fall right, safety could become a fallback option for them. Lastly, we'll analyze a big-bodied WR from Stanford who possesses some jump ball ability and MOF reliability for the team in the play-action game, as well as an undersized RB from Texas who has serious home run-hitting ability in the backfield. 0:00-19:37 Steelers QB Carousel 19:38-26:15 Sleeping on the Safety Position 26:16-35:25 WR Elic Ayomanor Stanford 35:26-43:39 RB Jaydon Blue Texas
