Baron Batch (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/team/roster/baron-batch/b18ae6d7-8bc6-488c-b73e-d55d99d6e045/) caught a lot of passes during his college career at Texas Tech, 140 for 1,111 yards to be precise. And shortly after the Steelers picked him on the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft last April, Steelers Director of Football Operations Kevin Colbert said, “Baron Batch has been an excellent running back in the Texas Tech offense, which is really like a third-down offense in the NFL. His ability as a receiver, to catch the ball, was impressive for us.”

Sunday marked the first day of practice in pads for the Steelers here, and Baron Batch was impressive again, but it had nothing to do with catching the football...........

I am really liking Batch. I hope he catches on and can contribute. His heart is something a locker room needs, rookie or not.

I know this kid's kind of a long shot since he was a seventh rounder, but I'm really hoping he makes the team.

My goodness, the way this guy talks! Did he read a mike tomlin book we don't know about? So well spoken and humble

Really hope he's wearing that 35 come September

Wow, I love the way this kid carries himself, and I REALLY love the way he carries his pads. Nice and low and willing to take on all comers. If he continues on his current path, I think its a no brainer that he makes the team. Look out Dwyer, there's a new kid on the block and he looks hungry.

This kid has a great story behind him.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who wouldn't root for him after they read it.
