Hey Ike check this out....You need to focus on becoming a better player yourself than blowing up an unproven college player. How many Pro Bowls you have been voted to.... So stay focus on yourself BIG-GUY.
According to Daniel Dudley of Trib Live Radio, while training with West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin, Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor says he’s a special player.
“Who ever gets that guy, is getting a special player,” said Taylor, Per Dudley.
As of right now I believe Austin is projected by most “experts” to be a second or third round pick in April’s NFL draft. He’s an explosive player that has some first round value in my opinion.

The Steelers Could Find Their Next James Farrior from Inside the AFC North
In 2002 the New York Jets decided to let James Farrior walk in free agency. Farrior was drafted by the Jets in the first round of the 1997 draft, but was considered a just after five seasons with the team.
The Steelers rarely go after free agents unless the player and price is right. They signed Farrior in 2002 and he was the team’s defensive leader for 10 seasons. Farrior led...
Steelers 2013 Draft: Trading Back may be Best Option
If there is one thing that most draft experts can agree on it’s that the 2013 NFL draft is deep in terms of quality players. What can also be agreed on is that the top of the first round lacks the big time talent that is typically associated with the NFL draft. In fact, the draft is deep in second round talent more than anything.
Therefore, the Steelers best bet for the draft may...

Please Don’t Ask Why the Steelers Aren’t More Active in Free Agency
We aren’t even there yet but I feel a pre-emptive strike is necessary for those fans who will inevitably say, “Why aren’t we signing player x or player z in free agency?” The free agency period for the 2013 season will not open up until March but already I’m seeing the comments about what the Steelers may do in free agency.
This is exactly what they will do, very little...
Kelvin Beachum Could be Steelers Left Guard In 2013 and Beyond
The Steelers are building a younger and more athletic offensive line in front of Ben Roethlisberger and the 2012 draft may account for three starters in 2013. First round pick David DeCastro is the Steelers right guard of the future and second round pick Mike Adams will start at tackle in 2013. Adams, who will be entering his second NFL season, will play left or right tackle in...

Sounds like Steelers won’t use the franchise tag on Mike Wallace
Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Mike Colbert says it’s doubtful they’ll use the franchise tag on any of their players this offseason.

Pittsburgh Steelers 2013 Needs
Have we overrated Ben Roethlisberger just a bit? In 9 seasons as a starter, he’s had a top-3 scoring defense on his side 6 times. In the 3 years he hasn’t, he’s missed the playoffs, including this year. They weren’t bad or anything this year, allowing 19.6 points per game, 6th in the NFL, including the fewest yards of any team in the NFL. The offense was more of the problem...
