Shazam Poised to be a Star

[GBMelBlount]

The fact is that the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t exactly provide their fans with excitement when it comes to first-round picks. Even in 2013, when the Steelers drafted linebacker Jarvis Jones, there was some trepidation.

Although Jones was an incredibly productive player in college, his ability to adapt to the Pittsburgh defense was a concern. And one year in, those concerns appear to be valid.

To further illustrate this, here are the first-round selections for the five drafts prior to 2014

Pittsburgh Steelers First-Round Draft PicksYear Player Position School
2013 Jarvis Jones - Linebacker - Georgia
2012 David DeCastro - Guard - Stanford
2011 Cameron Heyward - Defensive End - Ohio State
2010 Maurkice Pouncey - Center - Florida
2009 Ziggy Hood - Defensive End - Missouri

I read right up to this quote about Troy P. " . . . twilight of his career, his bark is worse than his bite." Uh, no. Troy doesn't bark. Period. And he still had a pretty good year last year. After that, I just couldn't read anymore.

Another Einstein with a blog, I take it?

That's why I appreciate Alex's work so much. You won't find any of that kind of nonsense from him.

No doubt. I had to laugh at Alex's "Hellos from Missi Matthews: 0" line. That, and his comment about not being ready for adulthood because he forgot an umbrella (or something like that). The one liners really make it worth reading.

Well, I guess at least "Shazam" is a better nickname than "Mendy," but if this guy is gonna be around for several years, maybe there should be a contest to find a permanent one. Maybe "Shamwow!" No, that's dumber than both of them. Oh well, scratch that idea.

No, Sham Wow is already taken for Shamarko Thomas.

Get with the program, bucco.

I saw the umbrella quote and laughed at that as well. Chidis twitter account has some good one liners too.

Yeah, Troy's bark is about as loud as a church mouse
