The Pittsburgh Steelers took the field for their third training camp practice of 2019. Here are some of the best sights and sounds of the day.
Sunday’s training camp practice was one that Steelers fans will wish they wouldn’t have missed. There were a number of splash plays and big hits that could be noticed from anywhere on the grounds.
There were both positives and negatives to note from yesterday’s practice. JuJu Smith-Schuster and Ola Adeniyi were the two biggest standouts.
JuJu was making one acrobatic catch after another, and it didn’t matter who was covering him. Though he struggled to separate at times, JuJu displayed excellent body control and ball tracking ability.
Ola Adeniyi isn’t nearly as well known as the budding star receiver, but he may have been the best player in a yellow practice jersey yesterday. Ola showed violent hands and good bend. He was virtually unstoppable in backs vs. backers, and he humiliated Jerald Hawkins in one-on-ones.
On the flip side of things, Sean Davis (one of the only true free safeties on the Steelers) left practice early with a finger injury. No word yet on a timetable for his return.
The Steelers 3rd practice was full of sights and sounds that would have made any fan stand up out of their seats. Here are some of the moments from day three of training camp:

Sean Davis’s injury is a bit concerning, as the Steelers are lacking depth at free safety, but many young players had a strong outing on day three.
If you haven’t done so already, follow me and stay tuned for more updates as training camp rolls along. Sunday’s practice was one to remember. Let’s hope some of these young players continue to progress at the rate we have seen.
