Steelers free agency: Does Desmond King give Mike Tomlin his best secondary in years?
In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins ASE/Multimedia Adam Bittner to analyze the Steelers' signing of free agent cornerback and former All-Pro selection Desmond King. Is he simply a depth signing? Or does he have a chance to impact this secondary in a significant way? And does teaming him with second-round pick Joey Porter Jr., another former All-Pro in Patrick Peterson and a solid veteran in Levi Wallace give the Steelers their best group of corners since the Super Bowl years? Our duo tackles those topics and also analyzes how significant Kenny Pickett's spectacular preseason will prove to be starting with Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. Later, Paul offers his thoughts on the Pirates' pitching rotation that's in shambles beyond Mitch Keller and Johan Oviedo and whether Ben Cherington and/or Derek Shelton should be in trouble because of it. We also look forward to Week 1 of college football action that includes tantalizing local matchups including Penn State vs. West Virginia and Pitt vs. Wofford.
