Steelers Training Camp Battle Preview: Germie Bernard vs Roman Wilson | Next Hines Ward on Roster?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have some training camp battles coming up over the next month, but Christopher Carter sees a key one over wide receiver in Germie Bernard vs Roman Wilson. Bernard may be the rookie second round pick everyone is excited about, but Wilson is a veteran fighting for his career, and the two of them are going to fight it out for the WR3 spot in Mike McCarthy's offense. Who will be the next option after DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. for Aaron Rodgers to target? What are their strengths and how are they different? Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. What are the key differences between their new special teams coach Danny Crossman and his predecessor Danny Smith? What did Smith do well that Crossman might struggle at? And how could Crossman surpass the Steelers' special teams coach of the last 13 seasons? Finally, Chris takes a question as to whether Michael Pittman Jr. is the Steelers next Hines Ward. But Chris sees another receiver on the rostere who is more likely to take on the mantle of what Ward did and meant to the Steelers of the 2000s.
