It’s great having Steelers Football back in front of a full stadium. Last weeks win over the Cowboys was a good game to knock the rust off for everyone.
There was a few players that were a surprise like wide receiver Matthew Sexton in the return game, and free safety Donovan Stiner coming up with a clutch interception to get the team fired up.
So lets take a look at a few players to watch in this game besides the Quaterbacks.
It’s to believe that Steelers football is back. This is the first look at Matt Canaday’s offense, and to see 1st Round Pick rookie RB Najee Harris.
This is a big game for a lot of the young players on this team, since there are only three preseason games. It will give these players a chance to show what the can do not only for this team, but also for the other 31 teams in the league.
So let’s get in to the players to watch in this game.

26 Anthony McFarland, RB
29 Kalen Ballage, RB

I would love to hear who you guys are watching the game. Let me know in the comments.
The Browns have officially announced their undrafted free agent signings.
The Browns had a good draft this year, which continued in to the undrafted free agent market. They found a couple of gems in this years class like Marvin Wilson (DL) and Romeo McKnight (DE).
Marvin Wilson has a very good chance to make the 53-man roster if he can stay healthy though out Rookie Minicamp and Training Camp.
The Steelers have officially announced their Undrafted Free Agent signings. The Steelers had a great draft this year, and that continued into their Undrafted signings.
They have found some gems like Shakur Brown (CB), Jamar Watson (LB), and Lamont Wade (S).
This is my first Steelers mock after the Senior Bowl. The Senior Bowl was great at helping get players around NFL teams since there is no Combine this year.
A lot of players rose up some teams draft boards from a good week of practice and interviews.
In this mock draft I made a few trades that I could see happen during the draft to be able to get a few more players that can have a big impact on there rookie season.
So with out wasting anymore time, let’s get in to the draft.
