On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to discuss what's at stake for the team's rookies during training camp, which begins next week at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. What does first-round NFL draft pick Derrick Harmon need to do to solidify his status as a presumed defensive line starter next to Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton? How much of him will we see in the preseason? And does he have a chance to fly under the radar a bit with big-name veterans including Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith and DK Metcalf joining the team as well? Can Kaleb Johnson seize starter duties at running back? Or are committee duties with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell the best he can hope for? Will Jack Sawyer be battling with Nick Herbig dor the No. 3 role behind Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt at outside linebacker? And can Yahya Black prove he belongs in the defensive line rotation? Our duo tackles those questions, then discusses later-round draft picks including Will Howard, Carson Bruener and Sebastian Castro in the third segment.
