Pittsburgh Sports Blog: Steelers' Prospect Visits, Throwbacks, and Schedule

Prospects in town

Tuesday and Wednesday were the last two days of potential draft pick visits. The Steelers hosted a total of seven players on those days. Included in those two days were likely first rounders Georgia Tech WR Stephen Hill and Memphis DT Dontari Poe. Also in attendance were California OT Mitchell Schwartz, Cincinnati TE Adrien Robinson, SMU G Kelvin Beachum, Arkansas WR Greg Childs, and Colorado WR Toney Clemons.

Throw Back the Throwbacks

The Steelers have a poor history when it comes to having throwbacks that don't make you want to hurl. Are these the worst jerseys the Steelers will have worn? Probably not. The 1994 throwbacks were pretty nasty too.
