Pittsburgh Steelers' Youth/Depth, Best Asset in Offensive Rebuild / Players Report to Training Camp

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV and 93.7 the Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers report to training camp Tuesday, but what aspects of their team are the least talked about heading into training camp? For one, the way Mike Tomlin and Matt Canada get back on track is to depend on the team's youth and depth at several positions. Between Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth, Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, George Pickens, Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett, this is a group that can be reshaped in a way we've never seen the Steelers offense. Also, how does the Steelers' secondary work out with their experienced NFL cornerbacks and safeties? Ahkello Witherspoon, Cameron Sutton and Levi Wallace battle for outside cornerback with the odd man out jumping into the slot cornerback battle with Arthur Maulet and Tre Norwood. Meanwhile, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin gets to play around with three starter-capable safeties in Minkah Fitzpatrick, Terrell Edmunds and Damontae Kazee. That's a lot of assets to a deep secondary. Also, a caller asks more about how Tomlin handled Ben Roethlisberger, whether he coddled the quarterback too much and how it was important he get the team through the Roethlisberger era unscathed.
