It's the last week of spring practice for the Steelers, minicamp, and it started on a newsworthy note as future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers reported for work and future Hall of Fame pass-rusher T.J. Watt stayed away as he established his contract renegotiation status as a holdout.
I'll touch on those topics as briefly as possible while still providing the important news, but it was also a day to talk to the defensive assistant coaches and they revealed deeper details that I believe will interest readers.
Such as: the precise context with which defensive line coach Karl Dunbar told me about his starting left defensive tackle; why outside linebacker coach Denzel Martin is excited about his fourth-round pick; and how I managed to get under the skin of new secondary coach Gerald Alexander by talking about Joey Porter's glove color. So let's get to it.
