Steelers estão confiantes de que o calouro Kaden Wetjen se adaptará rapidamente à NFL

O Pittsburgh Steelers está otimista de que a escolha de quarta rodada Kaden Wetjen fará uma transição tranquila da faculdade para os profissionais como especialista em retornos. O coordenador de times especiais Danny Crossman destacou as diferenças entre as regras universitárias e as da NFL durante comentários recentes. Wetjen, um destaque em Iowa, deve ajudar a melhorar as unidades de retorno da equipe, que têm enfrentado dificuldades.

Danny Crossman, o coordenador de times especiais dos Steelers, disse aos repórteres que Wetjen enfrenta ajustes em relação às regras e à dinâmica do jogo profissional. “O jogo profissional é bem diferente do jogo universitário”, disse Crossman. Ele observou a necessidade de fazer com que o calouro se inteire rapidamente, como ocorre com qualquer jogador jovem.
