Charlie Batch espera uma grande temporada de Yahya Black

O ex-quarterback do Pittsburgh Steelers, Charlie Batch, acredita que Yahya Black está pronto para uma temporada de destaque após uma forte campanha como calouro.

Batch compartilhou suas opiniões durante uma participação no podcast Snap Count. Ele elogiou o desempenho de Black na última temporada, observando que a escolha de quinta rodada superou as expectativas em uma linha defensiva concorrida.

"Apenas com base no ano passado, estou otimista em relação a Yahya Black porque senti que ele deveria ter vencido o prêmio de Novato Defensivo do Ano", disse Batch. Ele ressaltou que Black registrou mais snaps que seu companheiro de equipe Derrick Harmon, apesar das lesões de Harmon.

Black está mudando para a posição de nose tackle nesta intertemporada sob o comando do novo treinador de linha defensiva, Domata Peko. Batch destacou o tamanho e a capacidade do jogador de ocupar espaço, o que pode ajudar no jogo terrestre.

Black competirá com Keeanu Benton por snaps como titular na posição. Os Steelers também contam com Derrick Harmon, Cam Heyward e o recém-chegado Sebastian Joseph-Day na linha defensiva.
