LATROBE, PA. (AP) -Last season didn’t tell them. Their first exhibition game didn’t tell them.
Nearly 16 months after drafting Rashard Mendenhall in the first round, the Pittsburgh Steelers still don’t know what they’ve got in the former Big Ten offensive player of the year at Illinois.
Is he the next Willie Parker, a running back who begins rolling out 1,000-yard seasons immediately after getting into the lineup? Or is he the next Tim Worley, a first-round Steelers failure whose career stalls from the start and never takes off?
Mendenhall is deep into his second training camp with a team that won the Super Bowl last season without him, yet he remains a big question mark simply because the Steelers haven’t seen enough of him because of injury.
