Trai Essex (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6294611) knows a smart, young player when he sees one. And he sees one in rookie Kelvin Beachum (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=6294701).
“The kid is smart,” said Essex. “He came in right away and learned the playbook like that.”
Essex snapped his fingers for effect, but wasn’t done talking about the left tackle/guard the Steelers drafted with their fourth pick of the seventh round.
“And he’s talented,” Essex said. “He has some really long arms and has a really good set at tackle. He’s on the small side so they’ll probably move him inside. He’s probably going to have to be like me. He’s going to have to pick up the other positions real fast. I told him that’s one of the reasons I’ve been around here for eight years. He’s going to have to learn to play multiple positions and do it fast. He’s taken it to heart and is really working hard. I think he has a lot of potential.”
