Steelers 2024 Rookie Minicamp: The Latest Reports from Day 1
The Pittsburgh Steelers have 43 players taking the field for rookie minicamp this weekend. With the first day of camp coming today, Friday, May 10, it is the first opportunity to see many of these players in a Steelers uniform. Even though it is just with practice jerseys and “football shorts,“ it is still an opportunity to get a first look at these players in action.
Looking for information as to what’s going on at rookie minicamp, a compilation from various sources can be seen below. As more information becomes available, it will be added. The information in chronological order (as best as I can) with the newest reports at the bottom of the stream.
Troy Fautanu worked exclusively at RT today, the first day of #Steelers rookie minicamp. He hasn’t been told about their future plans for him.

I would keep an eye on Steelers rookie RB Daijun Edwards. Looks the part.

One thing you can tell about Roman Wilson when standing right next to him (and it's apparent on his tape, too) is that he has instant explosiveness off the line.
That's one of the easy, alluring traits that you could see. He covers ground quickly.

Troy Fautanu said the Steelers put his locker right next to Isaac Seumalo in the team's locker room.
"I apologize to him because I'm going to be bothering him a whole bunch….he's got a lot coming. He's a man of few words, so I didn't want to bother him too much."

This is interesting, but Mason McCormick has called protections while playing left guard at South Dakota State.
