Sammie Coates can fly on the football field. He soars off it.
Pittsburgh will be a better place sooner than later even if it takes the Steelers' newest wide receiver a while to catch on.
“I just want people to know it's good to give somebody a friend, get somebody to be there to show them some support. It's important to a lot of people, and everybody needs it,” Coates said.
Friday wasn't a typical day in our part of the world. The sun was too bright, the air too thick for early May. The Steelers welcomed their rookies to a minicamp on the South Side, but the unseasonable heat and humidity promoted shouts from team trainers ( one Gatorade, two waters, repeat the process!) that normally would be reserved for after a morning practice on the fields of St. Vincent College at training camp in late July.
Few of the nearly 60 players who required rehydration actually will make it to camp. But that didn't stop coach Mike Tomlin, covered chest to foot in long sleeves, from sending the message he will then, too.
It's hot out here, men. It'll get hotter when the games start............ ( you know you can see him all dressed in black like at training when it's 99% humidity :lol:)
