The Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed 51 players to their south side UPMC Rooney Sports Complex Friday for Day 1 of 2023 rookie minicamp. Obviously, this entailed well more than just the seven players drafted in the 2023 NFL Draft, but players who were on a try-out basis just looking for a chance to extend their NFL lives.
Every year there are players who are welcomed to the 90-man offseason roster after rookie minicamp, and this year is likely to follow the same trend.
Now is the time to take a look at what went down on Day 1 of rookie minicamp. Below you’ll see much more than just the rookie class in the black-and-gold for the first time, but video, photos and video of them in their first action of their professional careers.
So, with that being said, let’s take a look at everything that went down on Day 1 of 2023 rookie minicamp:
