Pat Freiermuth, George Pickens, Najee Harris Show Out in Steelers Minicamp, Promising Young Guns

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of SteelersNow.com and the Locked on Pitt podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers began minicamp Tuesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. The team's pass catchers made big plays and stood out during two minute drills. Pat Freiermuth and George Pickens caught impressive touchdowns while Connor Heyward and Najee Harris also looked impressive. With such young players on offense, Matt Canada has some interesting options to build the Steelers' passing attack with play action, deeper passes and concepts that weren't used much around Ben Roethlisberger. But with Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph, there are more mobile quarterback options available. Also, Najee Harris spoke out for the first time in minicamp/OTAs about his weight, what he's worked on to improve, and what he's done to be a leader for the Steelers. Finally, Pat Meyer showed drills with the Steelers offensive line that suggested the offense will use more outside zone run schemes. But how can that further help the Steelers' offense?
