First-round draft pick Bud Dupree is drawing praise from team MVP Le'Veon Bell, among others.
Le’Veon Bell was asked by SteelCityInsider for an opinion on this season’s rookies, and Bud Dupree’s name was mentioned immediately.
“He’s struggling," Bell started. "He’s shaking a little bit, but he’s sticking in there, you know. As a rookie it’s hard to do that.”
Struggling in the cold tub, that is.
Bell’s take on the rookie’s on-the-field performance is very much the opposite.
“He’s got some things you really can’t coach in a player," Bell said. "When you have that natural ability, you just kind of touch him up a little bit and let him go.
When SCI pressed a little further, the Pittsburgh Steelers' MVP of 2014 revealed exactly why Dupree is a rookie with a future.
“His start off the ball, you know. He’s a great pass rusher. He does a great job of anticipating the snap, even when it’s on two or three. He just kind of keys the ball real well, and as soon as that ball snaps, he’s gone, and that’s something you can’t really coach. You either got it or you don’t."
And “getting it” is something Dupree said is one of his strengths. Take for example last night’s backs-on-backers drills, which Dupree said he’d never done before. But his performance in those drills was more than notable.
