Due to the success of our Preseason Guide, we decided to handcraft a special Preseason “Welcome” Guide, that is, an eBook dedicated to informing Steelers Nation of all of the newly signed players wearing a Steelers uniform this season. Once again the Steelers only dipped their toes into free agency, so while there aren’t many new faces, there are quite a few who could have an immediate impact on the team; including Pittsburgh’s first three draft picks. Our guide will begin with free agent signings, followed by the 2016 NFL Draft selections. Other notable players in camp, if included, are listed after those subsets of players. (Note: due to the nature of “camp bodies,” or, players who are on the 90 man offseason roster, but unlikely to be in contention for a spot on the active roster and/or practice squad after the preseason, their names have not been includ- ed, but may be added as position battles heat up, so stayed tuned for updates to this guide as the preseason progress- es. A reduced 75-man roster is included in the appendix.) If you like this guide, we encourage you to subscribe to our Steel City Underground podcast on iTunes, YouTube, or Stitcher or follow us for updates on Facebook, Twitter, Vine and Google Plus.

Ladarius Green figures to be a different tight end than the Steel- ers were used to over the last 10 years with the now retired Heath Miller. A tall, fast end, Green moves around the field pre- snap, similarly to Jimmy Graham, and could be used as a deep pass and redzone threat in 2016, making Steelers fans forget about Martavis Bryant (rather than Heath.)

  • Seton Hall Sports Poll PUBLIC SAYS OBAMA a BETTER SPORTSMAN
    Seton Hall Sports Poll PUBLIC SAYS OBAMA A BETTER SPORTSMAN, WOULD BE A BETTER FOOTBALL COACH THAN ROMNEY Independent Voters Also Favor President on Both Questions S. Orange, NJ, September 28, 2012 – President Obama is seen as showing better sportsmanship than his opponent Mitt Romney, according to a poll conducted this week by the Seton Hall Sports Poll. Asked “regardless of whom you support, which candidate do you think shows better sportsmanship,” 53% said Obama, 29% said Romney, and 18% had no opinion. And while partisan politics may have affected that reading, the results from respondents who identified themselves as independent may be more telling: 58% said Obama showed better sportsmanship, 28% Romney, and 14% had no opinion. The poll was conducted among 688 randomly selected people across the country, including people on cell phones, of whom 487 said they followed sports at least somewhat. The poll has a margin of error of 3.8%; 4.5% for sports fans. The poll also found that to the question “which candidate do you think would make a better football coach,” Obama drew 48% to Romney’s 30%, and a wider margin among independents, 52% - 31%. Asked which party has more of the “win at all costs” attitude commonly associated with sports, 43% said Republicans, 36% Democrats, and among independents it was 48% to 38% for the Republicans. (The margin of error for independent voters was 5.9%). “One might expect partisan responses to these questions, so the results among independents is especially telling,” noted Rick Gentile, director of the poll, which is conducted by the Sharkey Institute.
