Steelers Begin First Practices Of Training Camp

Reporting

UNITY TWP. (KDKA) ― The second day of Steelers training camp is now underway at Saint Vincent College.

This morning the team held its first practice.

Everyone was on-hand except for three players deemed physically unfit to practice.

Sunday Chris Kemoeatu, Troy Polamalu and Casey Hampton were put on the physically unable to perform list.

Hampton came into camp out of shape and was seen down on a lower field at Saint Vincent trying to run off some of that excess weight.

Polamalu was on the practice field but did not take part.

As for those who did participate, it was a great start every year is a new year.

"You got to go out and prove yourself, regardless of what you've done in the past," said Hines Ward. "Every year is a new year. Younger guys are getting more experience. You've got to prepare yourself as this is a whole new year and you've got to go out there and make the team. That's why I wear my name on my helmet. I use that way of motivating myself to still help me go out there and be the best player that I can be."

"It felt pretty good. I wasn't too excited about it," said Santonio Holmes. "I thought we were going to come out in helmets and spiders. Coach told us to put the pads on today and get ready to go"

"It was good, to be out here and to be working and to be practicing, every day out here, you're going towards the season," said Rashard Mendenhall, the Steelers' #1 draft pick.
