Steelers Wild Week: J.J. Watt and Two Huge Moves

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a busy weekend welcoming rookies and free agents.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't let the aftermath of the draft lull them to sleep and stayed busy by hosting rookie minicamp and free agents. 

There's a lot to cover from a loaded weekend for the Steelers. 51 players, including the 13 draft picks and undrafted rookies, took the field at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex for their first workouts as NFL players. 

With first-round pick Broderick Jones in town, a battle for the left tackle spot with Dan Moor Jr. appears to be on the horizon and favorites are emerging.

The Steelers also made a splash by welcoming an inside linebacker to the Steel City and made perhaps their most surprising move of the offseason by bringing back a veteran quarterback to fill their third-string spot. 

And J.J. Watt tried to shut down any possibility of a return to football and signing with the Steelers but never say never. There will still be a relationship between Watt and the Steelers, which the team might be able to parlay into getting him back on the field. 

Even in the offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers never let things get boring for too long.
