Just hours after getting one of their own corners poached from their practice squad , the Pittsburgh Steelers said two can play at that game:
Here's what to expect from Rush:
Height-Weight-Speed Marvel
Rush was thought to be the Robin to Cam Smith's Batman at South Carolina in last years NFL Draft. He had solid tape, but nothing really stood out compared to his Gamecock counterpart at CB.
But then we got to the pre-draft process and Rush put on a show, particularly at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. I spoke to multiple media members that had him as a clear winner after three days of practice during my time there last winter.
So it was surprising to see him last until the fifth round in April's draft, and even more surprising to see him be released by the Colts.
Indy obviously knew the potential he had, keeping him around on the practice squad.
But that only flies for so long, as now Pittsburgh has added yet another long, youthful, Athletic corner to pair with rookies Joey Porter Jr. and injured reserve CB Cory Trice Jr.
And with Pittsburgh making the surprising decision to move off of a recently acquired veteran, don't be shocked if Rush plays sooner rather than later considering he will be signed to the Steelers' active roster.
