POSITION. STEELERS ROOKIE MINICAMP HAS OFFICIALLY WRAPPED UP HERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND ONE OF THOSE ROOKIES IS QUARTERBACK TANNER MORGAN. THE STEELERS SIGNING HIM AS AN UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT AS A POSSIBLE OPTION FOR DEPTH BEHIND KENNY PICKETT AND MITCH TRUBISKY HEAD COACH MIKE TOMLIN TALKING ABOUT MORGAN SAYING THAT HE’S REALLY IMPRESSED WITH HIS RESUME. HE’S A GUY THAT’S PLAYED A LOT. HE’S A SIX YEAR GUY. HE’S GOT SOME LEADERSHIP, INTANGIBLE QUALITIES. HE’S BEEN BEEN HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE WITHIN THAT PROGRAM. AND SO YOU KNOW, HIS RESUME IS PRETTY EXTENSIVE FOR A GUY IN THAT POSITION. MORGAN PLAYED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, WHERE HE STARTED 47 GAMES AND HOLDS THE SCHOOL RECORD WITH 33 WINS. HE SAYS THAT EXPERIENCE WILL DEFINITELY PLAY A ROLE IN WHAT HE’S CAPABLE OF DOING HERE IN PITTSBURGH. I THINK WHEN YOU HAVE EXPERIENCES, YOU HAVE TO LEARN FROM THEM. HE LEARNED FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES, THE GOOD IN THE BAD AND BE ABLE TO TAKE THOSE TO THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE. AND SO, YEAH, IT DEFINITELY IS. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT’S AN ENTIRE DIFFERENT LEAGUE TO DIFFERENT SYSTEMS, SO YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LEARN AND ADAPT AS WELL. MORGAN DID SAY THAT PICKETT AND TRUBISKY BOTH TEXTED HIM WHEN HE SIGNED AND THAT HE’S LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING IN THE ROOM WITH THEM AND LEARNING FROM THEM. NOW, THE STEELERS REGULAR SEASON STARTS SEPTEMBER 10TH WHEN THEY HOST SAN FRANCISCO, AND THEN WEEK TWO IS ALSO AT HOME. THAT ONE A MONDAY NIGHT GAME AGAINST THE BROWNS. AND YOU CAN WATCH IT RIGHT HERE ON WTA CHANNEL FOUR FROM THE SOUTH SIDE.
