Rookie minicamp begins this afternoon for the Pittsburgh Steelers. There’s around 50 players in attendance. You know a chunk of the names already. All seven draft picks, all 13 UDFAs, and select players on futures deals are in attendance. But there are also 20 tryout players vying to nab a roster spot and make their way into training camp.

Another potential slot WR that could end up on the practice squad.
The OG from UNC is big, but not athletic and another camp body that his best hope is practice squad.
As far as I can tell, the competition for the 4th (5th?) receiver job is wide open, so who knows, maybe that guy even has a chance, especially if there's an injury or some other problem.
And another project for Munchak, hard to see any downside in giving him a year or two on the PS and see if he gets anywhere. Might save us a draft pick one day, if not it didn't cost us anything.

They also brought Price in for a pre draft visit.
(Which is a little odd now knowing they used a visit for a tryout player)
Now that Prince has signed with the Steelers, I wonder how he is going to celebrate? :nervous:Quote:

Allen isn't content with a chip, he moved up to the bolders! :lol:Quote:

Interesting...I cant find any analysis of Prince that says he would have been drafted. Most say he would go undrafted or need time in an developmental league. I guess that is why he ended up the tryout route.Quote:
