wow - everybody hates Sammie?

I bet he catches more TD's than Lance Moore did

Can we watch the guy play for 2 seasons before we judge him? I bet Ben is very excited about his potential.

Agreed. I can't wait to see him in a Steelers uniform. His build reminds me so much of Boldin. I hope that he can be the same type of player.

I think as long as he is consistent with catching the ball with just his hands then he will be a good addition. I am still baffled as to how/why so many WRs come out of college without learning how to catch with their hands. They are far too comfortable and reliant with using their body to catch passes.

Steelers go SEC SEC SEC first 3 rounds in draft


I like that

I guess they weren't sold on Wheaton

[steelcityboyz]

I can't wait for this guy play. I love his size, if he's coached well he's going to b a force.

I don't think is that. I do think that if Sammie works out to be as good as we hope, it will remove a large hammer from over the Steelers head when our WRs are looking for a new contract.

[MULLDOG24]

I really like this pick and think Coates has very good upside. In saying that I agree with TEX on WR possibly wanting a new contract.

[TD's & Beer]

I can't wait for this guy play.

I agree

We don't need him to be our #1 route running WR - just load him and let him fly! - let him run that Wallace route over the top - give defenses something else to worry about.

With no Bell, we're gonna need to come out throwing early, load up the 5 wide!
