Steelers Minicamp Winners: Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Calvin Austin Among Best Rising Players

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers concluded their minicamp Thursday. While everyone's focused on Aaron Rodgers, Christopher Carter sees the young veterans as those who stood out the most during practices. Listen to why he thinks Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton and the rest of the 2023 draft class along with Calvin Austin all look like rising players who could be ready for a major step up. Also, Chris talks about how DK Metcalf and Porter are in their early days of competing against each other in practice but are already helping each other progress. How is Metcalf's mature approach to their battles in practice helping him and Porter grow? And with TJ Watt not appearing at minicamp, Mike Tomlin downplayed the significance of their contact negotiations.
