    Roethlisberger On McDonald: ‘He’s a Quick Study’

    The Pittsburgh Steelers will open their 2017 regular season on the road Sunday against the Cleveland Browns and it will be interesting to see how much and in what way new tight end Vance McDonald is used in that contest.

    McDonald, who the Steelers acquired last week in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers, joined the team in enough time to play 14 offensive snaps in the preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. He wasn’t targeted in that game, however, as he was mostly used as a blocker.

    During his weekly meeting with the Pittsburgh media on Wednesday, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was asked to give a progress report on McDonald, who was originally drafted in the second-round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the 49ers out of Rice.

    BB ravages a dozen Happy Meals.

    Haley steals the faucets.

    Jeff Reed rips down the towel dispensers.

    McDonald's? I wonder if AB thinks TJ Watts puts fries on his Big Mac?

    Via David Todd on the Terrible podcast, Vance had a rough day on Thursday dropping 5-6 balls.

    Probably Ben's fault because he's too fat

    His Drop Rate is 15.8%, so that would mean he was targeted over 25 times in a game, which is not likely to happen.

    The fact is that McDonald had the highest drop rate of NFL TE's and we will likely see a lot from him this season if he plays any significant snaps. The Sammie Coates of TE's.

    Speaking of Sammie, did he play today?
