During the Scouting Combine a few weeks ago, conversations over shrimp cocktails at steakhouses or over beverages at bars in the wee hours inevitably turned to one man.
Mitchell Trubisky.
Perhaps an indictment on the NFL’s perception of the incoming rookie class of quarterbacks, but Trubisky’s name was mentioned often through the week as a sought-after free agent when the league’s legal tampering period began.
It seems there was fire to all of the smoke, as the Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to officially sign Trubisky when the league year begins. The NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo was first with the news:
The #Steelers have reached agreement on a two-year deal with QB Mitchell Trubisky, sources say. The former No. 2 overall pick heads to Pittsburgh as the expected starter in place of the retired Ben Roethlisberger.

So, how can the Pittsburgh Steelers get the most out of Trubisky? After all, we are talking about a former second-overall selection who attempted as many meaningful passes last season as the bulk of people reading this piece.
Perhaps a big part of the puzzle is already in place.
