    Hey, AB this is how you retire a Steeler. BJ took the money and ran, but he didn't try to burn every bridge on his way out of town. So, he was invited back. K-State guy that just loved becoming a Steeler. His video from his garage was awesome.





    Former Steelers Derwin Grey was released by the Titans. Would like to see him invited to come in an compete with Chaz Green for the backup RT position. I was excited when the Steelers drafted him in 2019 as to me he is a power RT from hell that can push a pile down the field all by himself. Just one Big Mean SOB; the complete opposite of Chuks.

    Derwin Gray Draft profile: Strengths
    • Massive human with broad chest, long arms and good thickness through thighs
    • His size equals power
    • Takes defenders on a short ride when he centers the block and runs his feet
    • Able to match brute strength with brute strength at the point of attack
    • Battering ram power on down blocks to blow the run lane wide open

    Grey would be worth a shot.

    Finney's body broke down a while ago, but he was a good player for a while and an easy guy to root for from that moment in the video through today.

    Derwin Grey a couple year PS player. Meh, but wth after looking at the depth chart at OT might as well bring him in, meh vs meh still equals meh
