On the Steelers: Rookie Jordan Zumwalt training on inside, outside

[stillers4me]

One position where the Steelers are thin on talent and which they ignored in the draft is outside linebacker.

Or did they?

They drafted two who played some there in college, but announced both would play inside linebacker, Ryan Shazier and Jordan Zumwalt.

Yet in his first two days at rookie camp, Zumwalt found himself at outside linebacker, where there would seem to be more opportunities for him than on the inside..........

I feel pretty confident Zumwalt will make the team. He's a hard worker with a motor, willing to play anywhere to help the team.

I seem to remember the knock on Zumwalt was that he's too slow. But he seems like a tough kid and a hard worker. I'm rooting for him.

As far as I know, Timmons, Moats, Shazier, and Zumwalt all can play outside LB if the situation dictates, so that's about the least need of any position on the field.

I really like Zumwalt and am happy to have him at ILB... I have a hard time seeing him outside though?

According to the tape Zumwalt ran the best "F*cking" 40 at the combine...:lol:
