Special Teams Role Gives Ian Wild Chance To Step 'Up' - Steelers Depot

Not just because he's a hometown kid, but he has the rep of a big hitter. Should easily endear himself to Steeler Nation lol.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

He's a longshot to make the 53, but I see no reason that he couldn't stick around on the PS. Not sure how the eligibility works for players transitioning between leagues? But the depth already at the position is pretty set in stone.

Mitchell
Shark
W. Allen
Golden
Holliman

The #5 spot is up for grabs. But I think Holliman has the pedigree to hold it down, regardless of play. Golden can be unseated, but not likely. He's ranked in the top 10 PFF for a special teamer for 2-3 years running. Hard to replace production like that.

golden got hurt though yes? and wild takes his ST role

They could IR-recall Golden and open up the #4 spot

Another guy that is gaining some hype is Darby.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Sounds like Wild had another impressive practice today...

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Not sure if you missed my offseason posts, but sounds like Golden's MRI concluded he had a strain. So he won't be missing as much time as originally thought.

 

[SteelersPride]

yeah i saw that.......heck of a story, maybe practice squad but doubtful

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Its a good sign when they are working a player for position flexibility.

Dude can play he's a Rudy

He keeps having solid practices and preseason games. Love watching him play.
