Steelers' Germie Bernard 'Crushing It' While Learning Mike McCarthy Offense | Will Howard for QB2?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV.

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue the early stages of learning Mike McCarthy's offense, and rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard is right on schedule. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner discuss what McCarthy said about how Bernard is 'crushing it' while learning all the receiver roles in his west coast offense. Could Bernard with DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson be the receiver group Aaron Rodgers needs for the passing attack to be deadly? Also, Will Howard has been taking second team reps during Steelers OTAs. But does that make him the second team quarterback on the depth chart ahead of Mason Rudolph and Drew Allar? And what did Rodgers say about mentoring both Howard and Allar as young quarterbacks that signals what the Steelers should expect? Finally, Kaleb Johnson didn't have a good rookie season, but he's primed as the team's RB3 option behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle. Will he get a chance to prove he's a future starter this year?
