? Mark Kaboly of The Athletic thinks the Steelers will keep Najee Harris and Patrick Queen out of the spotlight on Hard Knocks.
“It kind of came out of nowhere because the Steelers donât like to open their doors and let outsiders see how the sausage is made. But when you can have four teams featured over six weeks, it doesnât seem like that much of an ask for any of the organizations,” Kaboly wrote in The Athletic’s ‘Whiparound’. “I wouldnât expect much to come out of it for Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin, T.J. Watt, Heyward, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Russell Wilson are polished PR machines. I would imagine the Steelers will keep Patrick Queen and Najee Harris away from the cameras. But even if they donât, there is an erase button available in the editing process.”
