Steelers All Pro Center Maurkice Pouncey is fully healed from ankle surgery this offseason. Pouncey struggled with the injuries to his ankle over the last two seasons. The surgery should make it so the chance of another injury is much smaller. Now that Pouncey is fully healed he will be able to participate [...] The Steelers signed their first draft pick of the year. NT Alameda Ta’amu singed a four year deal with the team. The Steelers still have 7 other draft picks to sign. Ta’amu is going to be the heir apparent to Casey Hampton. He may also be the starter at the beginning of the season. [...] Alameda Ta’amu appears to be the heir apparent to the NT position for the Steelers. He will learn under Casey Hampton and John Mitchell on how to play the position this season. He could even end up starting if he learns fast enough and Hampton is unable to recover from knee surgery. Hampton [...] It seems as if a familiar face had entered Steelers minicamp practice today. First round pick David DeCastro changed his number to 66. Steelers fans remember the last great guard to wear that number. Alan Faneca was a stalwart for the Steelers at the Left Guard position for years. Until the helmet came [...] In anticipation of Reader Appreciation Week, we asked for article submissions for a guest column spot right here on BB&G. We got quite a few worthy submissions from which we’ve selected our three favorite. Thank you to all who entered and congratulations to our selected few. By Justin Manns With the 56th pick of [...] Ed Bouchette was going over some predictions he saw possibly coming to the Steelers offensive line. He put out his projected starting offensive line.

Both of these guys were long shots to make the practice squad let alone the roster. The Steelers ran out of room for Spann when they drafted Chris Rainey. The team has a full [...] The Steelers have given jersey numbers to their incoming class of draft picks and undrafted free agents. David DeCastro is number 61. These things are never set in stone though. Especially since the Steelers ran out of numbers and some are doubled. Cameron Heyward changed his right before the season last year. LaMarr Woodley [...] The Steelers had a great draft this weekend. They picked up two offensive linemen in the first two rounds. Both guys could potentially start this season and if that is the case the Steelers will have truly upgraded their offensive line. This is something the Steelers have neglected to do in the past. [...] The Steelers had a great draft no doubt about it. We are going to have to wait until the players get out on the field to see what these guys look like for real. As of right now it looks great. Here are the way to early draft grades for the Steelers. Draft [...] Scott Brown is reporting that the Steelers have signed 12 undrafted free agents. The team brought in 2 special teams players. They also brought in 6 defensive guys and 4 players on offense. Here is the list of guys the team added. Undrafted Free Agents: Brandon Lindsey- OLB Pitt Connor Dixon- WR Duquesne Drew [...] Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert had their post draft press conference last night. They seem very happy about how things played out. Colbert said the Steelers plan to reach out and grab about 10 or so guys as UDFA. I will have that list out when it becomes official. Here is the press conference. [...] The Steelers had a really good draft which I will recap tomorrow. Tonight it is time to start reaching out to the undrafted free agents to see who else the Steelers can add to their team. There are some good prospects left out there.
