The Silent Treatment

Recently, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran a couple articles about the draft prospects visiting Rams Park this month. While the team didn't release the information, the paper was able to uncover roughly two-thirds of the visitors' names through back channels. (Of course, who knows how much of that information was strategically released by the team in a bit of pre-draft subterfuge?)

No such reporting has been done about the Steelers. The Post-Gazette reported recently that the Steelers are in the process of entertaining 30 or so prospects, but only one name was included: LenDale White. White's PR tour has been well-publicized, and his presence in Pittsburgh could be no surprise, really. Two other names have been linked to the Steelers: UCLA RB Maurice Drew (who wrote of visiting the Steelers in his ESPN diary), and Penn State WR/Special teamer Ethan Kilmer. Kilmer is 6' 205#; he caught 15 passes in 2005, including 6 in the Orange Bowl win over FSU.

So: a fat back, a scat back, and a Sean Morey clone? Oh, the anticipation!
