he's basically a depth receiver for a good team.,Womens Sean Lee Jersey,Darrius Heyward-Bey is a long way from his time as the No. 7 overall pick. He has bounced around the NFL and is now on his third team with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has never gained 1, and at this point,Womens Von Miller Jersey,000 receiving yards in a season
he's working hard and willing to do whatever the team needs from him.,But don't tell him that. Heyward-Bey is doing everything in his power to earn playing time for the Pittsburgh Steelers without letting his pedigree give him a swollen head. According to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com
“I always feel like I am on a one-year deal,Womens Trevor Siemian Jersey,” said Heyward-Bey. “I always feel like I have to prove not only to the coaching staff, but my teammates that I have a spot on the team. Whether that’s playing receiver or doing more on special teams. I never feel like anything is guaranteed. That has always helped in my process.”
At this point, Heyward-Bey just wants to be a part of a strong team. He's excited about the players on his team, as much for the winning they can provide as the competition they bring.
everybody has played except for JuJu. That makes it even more competitive. Everybody has had playing time. They have been in big moments. They had to make big plays in big games. It’s going to be interesting down to the stretch. Everybody is making plays. Everybody is paying attention to details. They understand that these preseason games are going to be big for everybody. You have to make plays and be accountable.”,“The talent and mix of guys
Heyward-Bey is going to have to fight just to make the team. Antonio Brown is a roster lock. JuJu Smith-Schuster is as well on the basis of his draft position, and Martavis Bryant is too talented to be released. Eli Rogers produced more than Heyward-Bey last season,Womens Cole Beasley Jersey, and Sammie Coates is essentially a younger version of him.
both of them could be in trouble. Cobi Hamilton and DeMarcus Ayers won't go quietly into the night either.,Authentic John Elway Jersey,He is going to have to prove that his veteran experience has made him a more versatile player than Coates to secure any sort of role in the passing game. If Justin Hunter continues to stand out at camp
This is the sort of training camp story you expect to hear from a veteran clinging to NFL life, but one that's still encouraging. The Steelers are the kind of team that encourages competition. Every player has to earn their roster spot and playing time,Authentic Von Miller Jersey, so Heyward-Bey is letting his work do the talking.

the team that shepherded James Harrison into stardom.,Mike Hilton was an undrafted free agent who couldn't stick with the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. Now he's with the Pittsburgh Steelers, after all, and his pedigree would suggest that he's simply a camp body. But this team knows more than anyone what an unheralded prospect can become even several years after beginning their career. The Steelers are
and Zach Metkler of Steel City Underground wrote a profile about the team's emerging new cornerback.,Hilton has turned heads at Steelers camp so far
"As an unknown (even to some of his teammates), Hilton went undrafted out of Ole Miss in 2016 after being a 2015 2nd-Team All-SEC selection and signed with the Jaguars before ultimately ending up on the Patriots practice squad for one week. By the end of the season, Hilton had been picked up by the Steelers and stashed away on the practice squad before signing a Reserve/Future contract at the beginning of this offseason."
why did Hilton go undrafted? Metkler has a theory.,Authentic Cole Beasley Jersey,The obvious question becomes
clocking only a 4.55-second 40-yard dash and a 33.5″ vertical. [Senquez] Golson had identical vertical measurements but ran a 4.46-second 40 at the 2015 NFL Combine.",Authentic Sean Lee Jersey,Womens John Elway Jersey,Authentic Trevor Siemian Jersey,"[Hilton] is an average athlete
