Steelers football is finally back. Tonight, we get to see a true Kenny Pickett lead team take the field. It been a long 215 days since the last time the Steelers played.
This is finally a chance to see Joey Porter Jr wear the Black n’ Gold just like his dad did for years. It also has been a long time coming for 2nd year wide receiver Calvin Austin III to make his debut.
It is so great to be watching Steelers football even if it is preseason. I am sure there are several players you really want to watch in tomorrow’s game. Here are a few on offense and defense, I am interested in watching.
Offense 8 Kenny Pickett, QB 5 Tanner Morgan, QB 19 Calvin Austin, WR 21 Hakeem Butler, WR 82 Dez Fitspatrick, WR 80 Darnell Washington, TE 77 Broderick Jones, OT 53 Kendrick Green, C/FB 74 Spencer Anderson, OL 68 William Dunkle, G
Defense 95 Keeanu Benton, NT 96 Breiden Fehoko, NT 68 Armon Watts, DT 26 Kwon Alexander, ILB 51 Nick Herbig, OLB 55 Cole Holcomb, ILB 24 Joey Porter, Jr. CB 41 Kenny Robinson, SS 34 Chandon Sullivan, CB 17 Trenton Thompson, FS
