Un experto considera que Castro podría superar a Savage por un lugar en la plantilla de los Steelers

El safety de los Pittsburgh Steelers, Darnell Savage, enfrenta un panorama complicado para asegurar su puesto en el equipo, según el periodista local Mark Kaboly. Kaboly destacó al agente libre no seleccionado Sebastian Castro como una posible sorpresa en la lista definitiva de 53 jugadores al finalizar el campamento de entrenamiento. Esta evaluación llega días después de que el equipo fichara a Savage el 2 de junio.

El veterano cronista de los Steelers, Mark Kaboly, compartió su análisis este lunes por la mañana en la emisora 93.7 The Fan. Señaló que Castro ha ganado notoriedad durante la temporada baja y podría quedarse con el puesto de tercer safety. Kaboly indicó que la reciente fractura por estrés en la pierna de Savage fue un factor que retrasó su contratación. Aunque Savage ya se encuentra recuperado, Kaboly sugirió que el veterano podría ser un descarte de última hora. Savage aporta a su carrera más de 5,000 jugadas defensivas y más de 300 en equipos especiales. Se espera que compita durante el campamento de entrenamiento bajo las órdenes del nuevo coordinador de equipos especiales, Danny Crossman. El progreso de Castro determinará si este escenario inesperado ocurre tal como predice Kaboly.
