Offensive Lineman · Pittsburgh Steelers
Max Iheanachor
No. 71 · Rookie
Day six, and Iheanachor was the one people kept watching
Training camp has a way of sorting things out fast. The physical days especially — when the pads are on and the playbook stops protecting anyone — that's when you find out who belongs.
Max Iheanachor is a rookie with the Pittsburgh Steelers, still in the early stretch of convincing everyone this is where he's supposed to be. Day six of camp was one of those days where the hitting gets real and some players disappear into the noise. Iheanachor did the opposite.
On one of the more demanding days of the summer, he stood out. That's the whole story, and it's enough of one. Rookies who make noise on physical days tend to stick around.
Nobody hands you a roster spot in Pittsburgh. But Iheanachor is making this conversation harder to ignore.
