The final practice of the spring ended with a rookie interception, but the coach wasn't impressed.
PITTSBURGH -- Gerod Holliman might have been the only Pittsburgh Steelers rookie with a hint of a smile on his face Wednesday afternoon following the final practice of the spring.
Holliman intercepted Ben Roethlisberger in the end zone after Roethlisberger had directed the first team inside the five-yard line during a two-minute drill that marked the end of Steelers minicamp.
Holliman, the seventh-round pick who led the nation with 14 interceptions last season, had received scant reps throughout the last four weeks, but can take credit for making the first and last interceptions of the spring for the team.
Did it feel good?
"Yeah, it felt great getting a chance to go out there and play against a quarterback who's already established himself," said Holliman as he was on his way to the shower.
Holliman said "Ben tried to pump me off, but I didn't go for the fake," and thus the interception.
But the play didn't seem to register much with Coach Mike Tomlin -- at least publically. Tomlin was asked after practice whether any of the rookies had impressed him, and here's what Tomlin had to say:
"No."
