The Steelers will hold their three-day rookie minicamp this weekend, the first time the team's 2024 Draft Class and undrafted free agents will be together as a group.
In addition to the draft picks and undrafted free agents the team added, the team will also have some first-year players participating this weekend, as well as players who were invited on a tryout basis.
Among those invited to participate on a tryout basis are several players with local ties, including University of Pittsburgh tight end Phil Jurkovec and cornerback Marquis Williams and Duquesne University receiver Darryl Powell. Former Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Anthony Averett and former Tennessee Titans running back running back Jonathan Ward are also participating.
The Steelers also invited kicker Mark Jackson, who was the champion of the Steelers first-ever American Football Kicking Clinic, held in April at the Sport Ireland Campus in Dublin. Jackson's forte has always been Gaelic football as the goalkeeper for Wicklow County of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).
