The Pittsburgh Steelers' top draft picks have established a solid base
If staying healthy was the Steelers' primary spring goal, getting Artie Burns and Sean Davis ready was the second goal.
PITTSBURGH -- With dark clouds approaching during the final practice of the spring for thePittsburgh Steelers (http://www.scout.com/nfl/steelers), Mike Tomlin stopped Chris Boswell (http://www.scout.com/player/114722-chris-boswell)'s 12-kick workout and offered the young kicker the chance to make everyone happy with a make-it-and-go-home 51-yarder.
Boswell nailed it and everyone rejoiced.
Everyone but one.
"I was a little disappointed," said rookie defensive back Sean Davis (http://www.scout.com/player/160531-sean-davis). "I had a rough day yesterday and I wanted to make up for it today."
Davis wanted to continue a final practice that began with him intercepting a pass in the end zone during "seven shots," the seven-play series from the two-yard line which opens every Steelers practice.
Davis and fellow rookie Artie Burns (http://www.scout.com/player/158755-artie-burns) were a part of the first group in giving the team a final spring peek at their top two draft picks.
"It felt good being out there with the first set of guys," said Burns. "I love seven shots. That's where all the pressure's at. That's where games come down to, Super Bowl games come down to. I just love the moment."
