Levon Kirkland recuerda el dominio de Kordell Stewart como receptor abierto en los entrenamientos

El ex apoyador de los Pittsburgh Steelers, Levon Kirkland, afirmó que Kordell Stewart habría sido un receptor abierto excepcional. Kirkland hizo estos comentarios al hablar sobre los inicios de Stewart con el equipo.

Kirkland habló en el canal de YouTube Coach Gibbs Defense Lab. Describió cómo Stewart, siendo novato, dominaba las sesiones de práctica como receptor abierto antes de pasar a desempeñar otros roles. "No podíamos cubrirlo", señaló Kirkland. Añadió que el atletismo de Stewart llevó a los entrenadores a incluirlo en la alineación titular para aprovechar sus habilidades. Stewart fue seleccionado en la segunda ronda del draft de 1995. Como novato, registró 15 acarreos para 86 yardas y un touchdown, además de 14 recepciones para 235 yardas y un touchdown, tras participar en 10 partidos. Los Steelers llegaron al Super Bowl esa temporada. Kirkland destacó el talento defensivo al que se enfrentaba Stewart en los entrenamientos, incluyendo a jugadores como Rod Woodson.
