Unity twp., Pa. – Pittsburgh steelers seem to have a fairly good secondary before the 2025 season.
This should be the case, the team exchanging the old one-like corner half Jalen Ramsey just before the start of the season, and the addition to Darius Slay, Joey Porter Jr. and Deshon Elliott, who all experienced strong seasons in 2024.

But how good is it? This will take place during the season, but if early yields are an indication – look.
They are not only guys at the top of the depth table either. Brandin Echols and Cory Trice were in an intense battle for the place of corner n ° 4, and the two played very well throughout the training camp.
When Trice and Porter were injured on Friday, Beanie Bishop intervened in the first team and played well, and James Pierre ended up in the second team, making an interception of Mason Rudolph in the goals to ensure the victory of the defense in the two -minute exercise.
The backs on donors do not disappoint

The back forest on files at the Steelers training camp is the highest electionary minutes to which you will have been witnessed during a training frame. With overflowing competition juices, this is where Trash Talk reigns in supreme and the emotions are amokes. It is a 1V1 setting where defensive players have the natural advantage as an agressor, so when a tight end begins to steal the show in protection against passes, it is worth being enthusiastic.
The first representative of the night came against TJ Watt, where the best paid non-QB was able to put himself under his pads and generate an initial reversal field. After that, Georgia’s product was extinguished. The coach staff challenged him after the challenge, and he continued to stand until the head coach Mike Tomlin was short of Challengers to launch his direction.
His clashes against Jack Sawyer and Demarvin Leal were completely dominant, with him anchoring and abandoning any land. Alex Highsmith tried to hit him with his spin movement inside patented; Washington has remained balanced and managed to reflect it effortlessly, hang and drive it back into contact. Advantage for dancing bear bearing # 80.
It was hardly a surprise for his teammates, one of them barking “not bad for an offensive tackle” in his direction after his grand finale. His answer? “Better to pay myself as one.” Although a position switch is not in the cards, the Steelers Brain Trust should be quite dizzy to have such a rare physical specimen, because having a tight end This blocking of passes is very rare. Even if the production of the box of the box is not clairous, the sense of blocking of Washington will make him a very rich man as long as he remains in good health.

The player with the most to prove in this exercise was the recruit Tailback Kaleb Johnson, who had a hard time during his first exhibition at this setting earlier this week. It is not too surprising since the Iowa race ecosystem only led it to stay in the protection of passes for the 60 repetitions throughout its collegial career.
The veteran support Malik Harrison passed after him early, grabbing the young man rushing before rushing around him for fast consecutive victories. After a difficult start and a rapid conversation of the runner coach Eddie Faulkner, the choice of third round of Pittsburgh found his fanfaron. The final act of the trilogy led to a decisive victory with him with his opponent, who tried to rush him back. It was a step in the right direction for sure, but Tomlin was not satisfied, and he chose to bring Mark Robinson, a note noted, at the party.
The last representatives of the couple showed the necessary physicity that it takes to survive in this league, their performance praising their teammates and respecting the defenders of the veterans. Hopefully this will also have a positive effect on his confidence. Johnson’s ability to stuff the rock in an outdoor area system makes him a transparent adjustment for the offensive of Arthur Smith. But for these skills to be exposed to their full potential, he will have to trust to keep the quarterrier in a vertical position.
It should also be noted that Payton Wilson looks like a player completely different from this time a year ago. In his two representatives, he ran through the chest of Kenneth Gainwell, and he was sure to let him know after the room. There are high expectations for this defense of the Steelers, and rightly so, but its development is essential for this unit reaching their summit. He has always been extremely gifted, but if the processing speed begins to catch up with his physical capacities, be careful. If you are looking for stars under the lights, it certainly fell into this category this evening.
