DUNKER TO HELP OPEN STORE<\/p>\n
The Steelers had a busy offseason this year. That included a load of draft picks, with the team selecting 10 players in total. While they\u2019ve yet to play in an actual game, some of them are already generating some hype. Gennings Dunker is a good example. He\u2019s got a unique look and a<\/a> tough play style, which has many excited for his future.<\/p>\n Dunker will get to experience his first NFL training camp in a few weeks, but there\u2019s another opportunity for fans to meet him coming up soon. TribWestmoreland posted a story that<\/a> Dunker will help to open the new Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods at Westmoreland Mall. It opens on August 7th, and Dunker will be there signing autographs.<\/p>\n PITTMAN CAUGHT HUGE FISH<\/p>\n Michael Pittman Jr. was one of the Steelers\u2019 biggest acquisitions this offseason. He finally gives them a solidified No. 2 wide receiver, which they\u2019ve desperately needed for years. However, this is Pittman\u2019s first time changing teams in the NFL, so he\u2019ll have some work to do before the season starts.<\/p>\n Still, Pittman has some free time before training camp starts, and he\u2019s enjoying it. Pittsburgh has seen many receivers cause some drama off the field, but that isn\u2019t Pittman\u2019s style. He loves to fish, and he shared on Instagram that he<\/a> recently hauled in a massive catch. It\u2019s as big as him. Hopefully, he has some massive catches on the field during the season, too.<\/p>\n HOWARD IN COLORADO<\/p>\n Aaron Rodgers is set to be the Steelers\u2019 starting quarterback this year. However, they still have other questions to sort out in that room, specifically who Rodgers\u2019 backup will be. Will Howard and Mason Rudolph seem poised to battle for that role. While Rudolph has more experience, Howard has many people in his corner.<\/p>\n This upcoming training camp figures to be a big one for Howard, but he\u2019s still enjoying his time until then. He recently posted on Instagram<\/a> that he\u2019s in Colorado. It looks beautiful, and it\u2019s good that Howard is relaxing now. He\u2019ll have a lot on his plate soon.<\/p>\n
