Wait...what just happened....
Never meanin' no harm...
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Well, long as they don't mean it.....

* It’s always interesting to look over the group of undrafted rookies signed by the Steelers, and only partly because there always seem to be a few of them with interesting stories in their past. But the real reason for not immediately kissing these guys off as nothing more than cannon fodder is the Steelers’ history of giving them real opportunities to make the roster and then make an impact.
* Since 2001, here is a partial list of some of the Steelers’ notable undrafted rookies: Chris Hoke, Keydrick Vincent, James Harrison, Willie Parker, Nate Washington, Greg Warren, Anthony Madison, Darnell Stapleton, Patrick Bailey, Doug Legursky, Ramon Foster, Isaac Redman, and Robert Golden.
* From the 2015 group, here are a few names to remember while sitting on a hillside during another steamy afternoon at Saint Vincent College: Cameron Clear is a 6-foot-5, 277-pound tight end from Texas A&M, who has the look of a guy who might be able to develop into a tight end capable of handling himself on an NFL line of scrimmage; and Miles Dieffenbach, Reese Dismukes, and B.J. Finney all are interior offensive linemen who could have been draft picks.
* Dieffenbach was a full-time starter at guard until he tore his ACL in March 2014, and it was the lingering aftermath of the injury that dropped him from being a Saturday afternoon draft pick to the status of rookie free agent. Dismukes had 50 starts at Auburn and was a two-time team captain, and maybe he wasn’t drafted for some of the same reasons Legursky wasn’t – a bit on the smallish side to handle the Haloti Ngatas of the world who will be lining up on his nose in the NFL. Finney started all 39 games at center from 2012-14 and was a three-time team captain at Kansas State.
* While it seems as though Clear will have a difficult path to a roster spot, what with Heath Miller, Matt Spaeth, Rob Blanchflower, and rookie Jesse James in front of him, the three interior offensive linemen seem to have a more friendly depth chart working in their favor.
* Besides starters Maurkice Pouncey, Ramon Foster, and David DeCastro, the returning interior offensive linemen include just Cody Wallace and Chris Hubbard.
