    Does Roc Taylor, Ke’Shawn Williams, or even Max Hurleman make the team over Robert Woods ?
    I like what Williams has shown so far, although its only 1 preseason game but if he keeps it up I would like to keep someone like him that has fire instead of a washed up vet like Woods.



    What other undrafted players might make the team ? It happens every year right .

    Castro would be my first guess. I think we already have 3 DBs get injuries.


    I think both WRs make it to the PS.


    The OL from Minn-Duluth should make PS.

    Did one or both TEs get injured?

    I don't think any of them will make the 53, maybe Taylor, Hurleman, and Williams can make the practice squad.

    I'm not sure which one could make the team. If one of the WR's lights up the rest of pre-season maybe they go in ahead of Woods. I could see a DK/CA3/Wilson/Miller/Skowronek/UDFA WR room. It would have to be based on ST value as well. Castro is a tough one because our DB room is very deep. Ramsey/JPJ/Slay/Echols are locks. Bishop/Trice/Pierre are going to be tough to displace. At Safety we don't have any "elite" names, but we're deep. Thornhill/Elliott/Clark/Killebrew are locks, so we'd have to keep 5 there. Its possible, but I think he slides onto the PS barring some serious output the final two PS weeks.

    I think that right now Castro/Hurleman/Williams/Taylor are the best bets.

    Right this second I'm rooting for Max Hurleman, but this could change. I totally forgot who he was until a few on here reminded me.

    Hurleman will make the practice squad for sure. If we lose a CB, RB or WR during the season he can be brought up to play any of those positions.

    too early to tell. roc has size and can block, and has strong hands and can make tough contested catches.

    williams can make tough contested catches, even for his size.

    hurleman i think will end up on the PS to learn.

    castro as well. too many good pro's ahead of him right now but only for a year. his speed isn't the greatest but his football knowledge and style are quite good. tough kid too.

    :cool:

    It’s unfortunate he’s not playing his natural position

    I went to camp twice this year and this kid stood out both days (as did Yayhe Black). From what I saw in Latrobe and last week in Jax I would bet he’s a lock for the practice squad.

    Love it. Ramon giving some love for RB Big Lew Nichols today.

    Big Lew was the only Steelers RB from week 1 that was pushing people around and gaining yards after contact.

    We probably don't have a roster spot for Big Lew, but I bet another team does. Hope to see more of Big Lew in the 2nd game.

    Are you talking the 53 or are you including practice squad

    Or maybe that’s two questions
