I asked Jaylen Warren if he's gotten a chance to run behind Kendrick Green as a fullback yet.

Hahaha.

— Mark Kaboly (@MarkKaboly) August 8, 2023

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

Hakeem Butler unleashes a stiff arm on Kenny Robinson on their first rep against each other.

Next rep comes and Robinson with a textbook hawk tackle on Butler. Good competition.

Screaming ‘one more step’ towards JPJ.

Kwon Alexander just got his ankles taken by Anthony McFarland. Great rep by McFarland.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

Joey Porter Jr. struggling in the tackle drills. Missed tackled on 4 out of 5 opportunities. Something he’ll have to work on.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

Hakeem Butler trucks new safety Jalen Elliott, who is wearing No. 16, and Mike Tomlin has words for him.

“Welcome to Pittsburgh one-six!”

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

One-on-one drills in open-field tackling. … Dez Fitzpatrick vs. Joey Porter Jr. The rookie “won” the first rep but Tomlin called for a rematch and then a “rubber match,” and #82 took the “series” pic.twitter.com/LnDPNEnzKz

— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 8, 2023

The veterans really taking to mentoring the young rookie.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

Alex Highsmith just wrong armed Dan Moore Jr. and blew up Najee Harris in the backfield on the first play of team run. He’s continued to look impressive.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

More Kendrick Green fullback reps

— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 8, 2023

Connor Heyward just destroyed Trenton Thompson. What a lead block.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

Kendrick Green in as an h-back with Connor Heyward at running back for the last play of the third string team period. Green can’t hold his lead block and Heyward gets tackled for little or no gain.

— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 8, 2023

Minkah Fitzpatrick just crashed a WR drill line. Looked good.

“I’m an athlete, baby. ATH.”

Relative to his role/place in depth chart…
Anthony McFarland might be having the best camp of anyone here

— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) August 8, 2023

Jaylen Warren still has that undrafted grit and physicality. Dude just trucked and then stiff arm two defensive backs in succession.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

Just got his chance. Ran right off Green’s hip and then truck sticked two DBs to gain a first down on a third down drill. https://t.co/cTXvSP9UKX

— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) August 8, 2023

Good showing for Breiden Fehoko in lineman one-on-ones. His strength is a real weapon at the point of attack.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

UDFA Toby Ndukwe with a few impressive rushes against Broderick Jones. The second rep a brutal long arm that pushed Jones back into the dummy QB.

Ndukwe has some good burst and power. Could be in contention for a PS spot.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

Isaiahh Loudermilk with a good stack and shed to stuff Connor Heyward on the first carry of the goal line period.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

Great stop by Joey Porter Jr. coming to fill the edge on the Connor Heyward jet sweep. Offense stopped short again.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 8, 2023

Connor Heyward takes the jet sweep but this time he throws instead of running it. Finds Pat Freiermuth on the pass for the TD.

Matt Canada trickeration.

Kenny Pickett mania after practice #SteelersTrainingCamp pic.twitter.com/bSJ3UZltqm

— Bob Pompeani (@KDPomp) August 8, 2023

Coming off an off day, Mike Tomlin said he didn’t want to see a “corporate Monday morning” or “corporate Friday afternoon” approach. In other words, come out intensity. He said they did w what he called a “physical practice.”
