Chris Hoke reacts to Heyward and DL notes

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller - A podcast by Audacy - Fridays

Former Steeler Chris Hoke joined the show. Hokie isn’t worried about Cam Heyward, saying he will be on the field in Week 1 no matter what. Chris thinks Heyward deserves the money as one of the best in the business. Chris kept saying that Heyward is a ‘team guy’ and isn’t worried about where this leaves the rest of the operation. Hokie called out teams for often not honoring contracts the way players are always told to. Chris really likes what he has seen from Derrick Harmon in camp so far. He also thinks Yahya Black will contribute a lot more than people expect early on. Hokie won’t fault a guy for having confidence and said he isn’t bothered by Juan Thornhill thinking the current Steelers defense can be one of the best of all-time. Chris is excited to watch Jack Sawyer more than any other player on Saturday night. Kaleb Johnson is the player he chose on the offensive side of the ball.
