Steelers Players to Watch: Pre-Season Week 1 vs Seahawks

by James Layton

Finally, after six long months of no Steelers football. We have a game tonight against the Seahawks! It’s interesting both teams are looking to see who their starting Quarterback will for this season.

I know everyone will be watching the Steelers Quarterbacks the most tonight, but this Receiver group is something special. Rookie wide receiver George Pickens is ready to show why he is the best receiver to be drafted this year. Another rookie receiver that is ready to ball out is Calvin Austin, his speed is something special. During training camp so far, he’s been showcasing his speed multiple times that he can take a short pass to the house with just a move or two.

Another wide receiver that is looking to show he can still be an important part of this offense, is veteran Anthony Miller. Miller has been balling out this training camp. He is showing that he still has a connection with starting QB Mitch Trubisky.

Let’s get into the players to watch. These players are showing so far in training camp that they belong to be on an NFL roster this season. And some are ready to make the jump their second season.
