While I wouldn’t get too far ahead on this, it seems that more than one person is pointing out these days just how bad first round pick David DeCastro has looked in camp.
Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports that DeCastro is having a lot of issues from the physical standpoint, and so far he’s failed to beat out Ramon Foster for the right guard spot.
He will get the the start there anyway this Thursday when the Steelers play at Philly. “The mental part I got. The physical is a lot tougher. These guys are really good,” DeCastro said.

no need to be nervous. Like you said its only August and he got to camp late due to graduating. He still will be a stud and he will prove it throughout the preseason.

Right on, George H. DeCastro is the real deal. Hensley (ESPN) is in the business of stirring up controversy, not in balanced reporting. DeCastro just got here, for pity’s sake. He can’t spell “Monongahela” without a guide book yet; he probably thinks it’s an affliction. Let him settle in.

Question: so Hensley is the one purporting this exclusive of anything the Steelers are saying or in concordance with their inside personnel?

Non-story.

For starters, why would anybody pay attention to anything coming from ESPN? They ceased to be a sports network and became tabloid TV when Disney/ABC bought them.
Time and playing against NFL talent will tell whether David DeCastro will has a career in pro football, not Jamison Hensley –a talent less slug as a writer who lives by the motto “Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.” If Hensley had any real ability to evaluate talent, he would be working in an NFL front office, not wasting his time writing stories that nobody reads.
