Steelers News: Brown, Mettenberger, Policy

The Steelers draft picks have been made and the offseason workout program is in full swing.

Steelers season never truly ends for Steeler Nation so while the team starts to put in the work to prepare for the 2016 NFL season we’ll be busy looking for mentions of your Black & Gold so we’ve got you covered. Here’s your Steelers Morning Huddle for Friday, May 20^th.

Always wanted to be a Steeler

Now that Antonio Brown’s dancing days are done he’ll report to OTAs next week for the Steelers with the goal of bringing home a more important trophy. Teresa Varley explains how Brown was sold on being a part of the Pittsburgh Steelers long before his name was called in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

"“I visited a lot of different teams, but coming to Pittsburgh, everything I knew it was a nice feeling. I wanted to be a Steeler.” – Antonio Brown"

I think its true love.

Did the Steelers miss out?

The Steelers shored up their backup quarterback role earlier this month when they re-signed Bruce Gradkowski. The Tennessee Titans released Zach Mettenberger earlier this week and there was some speculation that the Steelers should have taken the opportunity to grab Mettenberger off of waivers.

San Diego grabbed him before the Steelers had the chance but the PPG’s Ed Bouchette is here to remind you that Mettenberger wouldn’t exactly be a confidence-instilling piece of the puzzle to add to the roster being that his 0-10 record as a starter in Tennessee should be a reminder that he might not be good at the football so much.

If you have a problem knowing stuff, don’t talk about it

Because ESPN has to comment on everything, whether it’s an actual story or not, here we have a clip of Jarrett Bell and Mark Schlereth talking about their personal experiences in the NFL’s drug testing in reaction to Steelers linebacker James Harrison recent experience trying to film the procedure and being denied.

Schlereth describes a time when he was on a family vacation and was informed that he was required to be tested and insists that anyone who has a problem with the drug policy, shouldn’t be playing in the NFL. In a perfect world anyone who constantly talks out of their ass wouldn’t be constantly featured on national television, but here we are, Stink.

Harrison repeatedly explained that he has no problems with the actual process of being tested and I don’t think anyone who actually took the time to watch his IG posts about it would come to that conclusion.

Next: How much will Harrison contribute to the Steelers in 2016?

His issue was being able to record one test and then being told he couldn’t, without any consistency or explanations. He’s been in the league for twelve years and has never had a positive test. For the NFL to come after him like this in what will surely be his last season is a little silly, in my opinion.
