Will Big Ben and the Steelers regret the decision to return for another season?
While these players are only reserves right now, these five Steelers have a great chance of ascending to a starting role by this time next year. Developing into a starter in the NFL is no easy feat. Ignoring the already immensely minuscule odds of even making an active roster, the NFL has become a results-driven league. If a rookie doesnt produce early in their career, fans are ready to move on. The Steelers emphasize this process though, even when it means banking on a relatively unknown player being the next man up. When this works, a team can continue to add new starters from the roster it carries each year as opposed to trying to add pricy free agents during the offseason. Here are the five Steelers that should become starters by this time next year.
