The Pittsburgh Steelers held their first training camp practice in pads on Thursday, providing a clearer picture of player performance and potential. Several players are trending up while others appear to be struggling as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
The Yahoo Sports report highlights several standouts from the session. Among those rising in stock is offensive lineman Dylan Cook, who received praise for his performance against veteran Cameron Heyward. According to the report, Cook “had a really good day,” and was able to hold his own during one-on-one pass rush drills.
On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Nick Herbig also impressed. He reportedly “flashed” during team drills, demonstrating potential as a pass rusher. The article notes that while it’s still early in camp, Herbig is showing signs of being a valuable contributor.
However, not all players are trending upwards. Running back Anthony McFarland Jr. appears to be struggling, with the report stating he “got stuffed” on multiple run attempts during team drills. This performance raises concerns about his ability to secure a roster spot given the competition at the running back position.
