Steelers Getting Their Work In During Workout

Many players organized workouts have been in the news or NFL Network or ESPN. The Steelers players have been working out under the radar during the NFL lockout.

The practices have been for offensive players only. Many defensive players are working out in Florida under the supervision of private coaches and trainers.

“To me, it’s not about letting the world know we’re doing it,” Roethlisberger told Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Monday at his youth football camp. “As long as we know we’re doing and we’re doing it, that’s all that matters. That’s just how we operate and how I operate. I’ve gotten some letters from people, I’ve heard some things like, ‘Why aren’t you working out?’ Well, we are working out. We’ve probably worked out more than most teams. It’s just that we choose to keep it quiet.”

Roethlisberger would not disclose how many times the players have worked out on their own, but Emmanuel Sanders said the number is three. Sanders said Roethlisberger will send out mass text messages to players to let them know when and where to show up for the local workouts.

“It’s going great,” Roethlisberger said. “We’ve worked out, linemen, running backs, tight ends, everybody. All of the offense. It’s gone really well. We’ve had some good progress, just to kind of refresh people’s memories on audible calls or no-huddle calls, little things like that.”
