Steelers draft update: Biggest winners at East-West Shrine Bowl

The Steelers have their front offices and coaching staff all across the country scouting different events, including the East-West Shrine Bowl.

Trying to make the East-West Shrine Bowl something that entices fans to watch is an almost impossible task to accomplish. The game is never great and has a lot of sloppiness as these players do not have a lot of practice together before the game occurs. No one is there to get a win in the game, they are there to try and improve their draft stock as much as possible.

Make no mistake, no matter the outcome of this boring game, the Steelers were present and taking a close look at some individuals. There were some players that did not have a good game and struggled throughout the practices as well. Most quarterbacks in this event did not see their draft stock get any better.

There were no touchdowns scored during the game, which creates a boring atmosphere overall. You could tell that these players were thrown into the fire and struggled to get into a rhythm, especially on offense. Team West prevailed as the victors as they got out of the stadium with a win by a final score of 12-3.

Jake Moody gets a special shoutout as the Steelers could look for a kicker

When a kicker is one of the game’s MVPs, that is a sad thing to witness. Yes, kickers are football players too, but they should not be your offensive MVP for the game. The Steelers should take some interest in bringing in competition for Chris Boswell in training camp.

Special teams were bad last season for Pittsburgh, and they need to start looking at alternatives. Jake Moody proved that he can be consistent from different distances and that should catch the eye of this staff. Perhaps drafting a specialist like a kicker or punter is not a grand idea but signing someone like Moody if he makes it to undrafted free agency would be a nice addition.
