Hey Buddy, You're Not Making the Team

You'll listen to precisely the exact platitudes every twelve weeks at instruction camp:

"No role is safe."

"Anyone right here could make this team."

"You gain your place concerning the roster all through instruction camp."

But lastly there's a mentor who's prepared to inform it like it is. There may be greater than 80 players in camp with the Steelers, but that doesn't suggest that everyone features a opportunity to produce the team. Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is just more available about that reality than most coaches.

"If you look at the wide receivers, look at Hines mentor them," Arians said. "He's coaching the rookies - who have no opportunity of making this football team - like they're his most superb players."

I believe that signifies that Eric Fowler, Gerran Walker and Dan Shelton, the three nondrafted rookie wide receivers, shouldn't make any programs to purchase houses in Pittsburgh. But on the very least they have an improved idea of especially where they stand than most rookies do at this phase in camp.
