Especialista acredita que Castro pode superar Savage por vaga no elenco dos Steelers

O safety do Pittsburgh Steelers, Darnell Savage, enfrenta uma batalha difícil para garantir uma vaga no elenco, segundo o especialista local Mark Kaboly. Kaboly destacou o agente livre não draftado Sebastian Castro como uma possível adição surpresa ao elenco de 53 jogadores após o campo de treinamento. A avaliação ocorre dias após a equipe contratar Savage em 2 de junho.

O veterano setorista dos Steelers, Mark Kaboly, compartilhou sua visão na manhã de segunda-feira na 93.7 The Fan. Ele observou que Castro tem ganhado atenção durante a intertemporada e poderia reivindicar a posição de terceiro safety. Kaboly apontou a recente fratura por estresse na perna de Savage como um fator que atrasou a assinatura. Embora Savage esteja saudável agora, Kaboly sugeriu que o veterano poderia se tornar um corte de última hora. Savage traz mais de 5.000 snaps defensivos e mais de 300 snaps em times especiais ao longo de sua carreira. Espera-se que ele compita durante o campo de treinamento sob o comando do novo coordenador de times especiais, Danny Crossman. O progresso de Castro determinará se o cenário surpreendente se concretizará conforme Kaboly prevê.
