URGENT! BEN DINUCCI AT STEELERS! ROONEY MAKES A MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS! SHAKE WEB! STEELERS NEWS!

Intro [Music] hey guys let's get more news about Steelers but first don't forget to subscribe and leave your like Alex heith Justin Fields details the moment he realized how fast Justin Fields really is the Pittsburgh Steelers made a major overhaul to their quarterback room this off season when they signed Russell Wilson traded Kenny picket and traded for Justin Fields all within the same week Wilson may have pull position in the quarterback competition but Fields provides a skill set that is rare among NFL quarterbacks his athleticism is a weapon and very few players can beat him in a foot race Alex heith was asked about Fields during the green light podcast and detailed the moment that he learned firsthand how fast Fields is man dude's a special talent he's a freak athlete great quarterback heith said I remember my second year we played the Bears at home it was like a Monday night game I think and I was chasing him around the edge and he started scrambling out to the left side and I was chasing behind him he turned around and looked at me he was gone I'm talking about hit another level that's when I really realized how fast he was at one point just a yard or two away from fields it didn't take much time for the distance between the players to reach five or six yards of Separation he even blew past TJ wat when it looked like what had the appropriate angle to make the tackle Minka Fitzpatrick was the one who ultimately ended the play with a big hit near the sideline some of you will remember this hit obviously quarterbacks need to be much more than just fast to excel at the NFL level but Fields has enough speed to deserve a look at training camps even if he doesn't win the competition with Wilson reports indicate the Steelers already have plans to use fields in specialized packages that would almost certainly involve using his speed for an added element to the offense I just think he's just going to provide a lot of value for us and he's a great quarterback as well heith said so the competition between the two is just going to bring out the best in them both and I just can't wait to see in his three year career Fields has rushed 356 times for 2,220 yards and 14 touchdowns his rushing success rate is 53.4% and he has averaged 6.2 yards per attempt in 2022 he had the second best single season rushing total for a quarterback in league history with 1,143 yards before he was drafted Fields ran a 4.45 second 40 yard dash at the 2021 NFL combine he then ran a 4.44 at his Pro Day some players don't play up to their straight line speed and pads but Fields may actually play faster than his time indicates that Breakaway speed changes the math in Defenders heads when they are in Pursuit the standard angles that defensive players take won't work on Justin Fields as heith and what learned back in 2021 Roster Prediction kazora Pittsburgh Steelers pre-training Camp 53 man roster prediction with training camp 24 hours away and the first practice the day after it's time for my updated Pittsburgh Steelers 2024 53 man roster prediction my last prediction came right after the draft and since then the team has made roster moves that have changed some of my predictions those will be reflected below my next roster prediction will come either right before or after the Steelers first preseason game analysis no changes here the overall theme of this updated prediction Wilson and Fields may nominally have a battle but it'll be a major upset if Fields wins it Allen brings experience and comfort as the team's third Stringer running backs three Nai Harris Jaylen Warren curell Patterson analysis I begun to feel skeptical about Patterson's useful this season on offense or even in the return game but he should still make the roster as the primary kick returner Harris and Warren will be the Steelers lead horses in an offense that could finish top five in Rush attempts fullback zero none analysis no true fullback though Connor Hayward could be used here keep an eye on Jack ketto in training camp tight ends for Pat friou Darnell Washington Connor Hayward Mya Cole puit analysis in my offseason analysis I left puit versus Rodney Williams at a literal coin flip Williams is younger and the better athlete special teamer but puit knows the system and is a stronger inline blocker an underrated but fun camp battle Hayward could log time at fullback wide receivers five George Pickins Roman Wilson Calvin Austin 3 van Jefferson Dez Fitz rrick analysis one change here putting Fitzpatrick in place of Marquez Callaway Callaway brings intriguing height/weight slsp speed but Fitzpatrick's calling card is special teams that's different than the other veteran white outs fighting for their spot Austin earned plenty of Praise in the spring giving him an initial leg up in the fall Jefferson has size and versatility and is familiar with Smith's system offensive tackle for brck Jones Troy fanu Dan Moore Jr Dylan cook analysis lots to watch here how much play does more get at RT can fanu win the job can cook continue his ascent and if so will more become Expendable overall it's a talented and deep group Steelers working out former Steelers Working Out Former Cowboys QB Cowboys QB report the Pittsburgh Steelers currently have four quarterbacks on their 9 man roster with players reporting for training camp on July 24th but apparently they aren't completely satisfied with the room kprc2 NFL Insider Aaron Wilson reported that the Steelers are hosting former Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos quarterback Ben denucci for a workout on July 23rd he cited a league Source after delivering the news denucci was most recently with the Broncos in 2023 serving as an emergency third Stringer for Shawn pton but he's best known for his time with the Cowboys in 2021 denucci sted in HBO's Hard Knocks as he battled for a roster spot behind Dak Prescott he failed to make the Final Cut That Summer throwing four interceptions during the preseason compared to two touchdowns but did do enough to earn a practice squad role sticking with the organization until the following cutdown in August of 2022 denucci also appeared in three Cowboys regular season outings the season prior registering a 53.5 completion percentage with 7 sacks and a qbr of 10.2 throughout the 2020 campaign although his NFL track record has been unreliable so far the 27-year-old denucci has proven himself at the XFL level leading the Seattle sea dragons to a 7 to3 record in Spring of 2023 his team fell short against the DC defenders in the playoffs but to no fault of denucci who threw for three touchdowns and a 102.3 passer rating that game on the XFL season denucci passed for 2,671 yards and 20 touchdowns over 10 starts at a completion percentage of 64.7 he also threw 13 interceptions while rushing for 305 yards and three TDS denucci has history in Pittsburgh Starting Games with the Panthers in 2017 he transferred to James Madison to close out his collegiate career if the Steelers are taking a look at denucci it probably means they're uncertain about the quarterback depth behind Russell Wilson and Justin fields that could mean trouble for reserves Kyle Allen and or John reee Plumley the 28-year-old Allen is the most established of these three having started games for the Carolina Panthers Washington commanders and Houston Texans he also served as a backup with the Buffalo Bills in 2023 it feels unlikely that the Steelers release Allen before training camp begins Plum Lee a udfa out of UCF is less secure but Pittsburgh liked the rookie enough to sign him after the draft the Athletics Mark Cabell highlighted his athleticism on July 9th while also acknowledging that he's a long shot to make the roster of course the alternative is that the Steelers take Z Z chances at quarterback rostering five throughout Camp a strategy of that nature might be considered a bit extreme but Pittsburgh has already proven their unwillingness to take chances at the position this spring and you fan what do you think of the situation of Ben denucci leave your opinion in the comments
