Steven Sims Ready for Steelers First Ret from seestyle's blog

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have seen explosive return plays in recent years, but it's been longer than you'd think since they last found the endzone on special teams.The years of Ray-Ray McCloud brought Breece Hall Jersey some electric special teams play, but it hasn't been since 2017, on a return from JuJu Smith-Schuster, that the Steelers took a kickoff to the house.The last time they scored on a punt return, not including a blocked punt? 2019 by Diontae Johnson.That could change this season.Steven Sims burst onto the scene in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills and took two games, and four returns to prove he was the man for the job.

With Miles Killebrew, Marcus Allen, Benny Snell Jr., Derek Watt and Miles Boykin all standing tall amongst those aces in the NFL, it just feels like this group is different."We're a great unit in the special team room," Sims said. "We can change the game in our room, without the offense and defense. As far as punt Kyle Phillips Jersey block, everything we've got to do, kickoff, kickoff return, punt return, we can make plays in those areas to help the team win the game, Kevin Mawae Jersey and Danny Smith knows that and he believes that and we believe that."Sims has a kick return touchdown under his belt already, taking one 91-yards to the endzone as a rookie in 2019 with the Washington Commanders.

Once I got through, I feel like I'm gone," Sims said. "But at that point, it was literally just me and the kicker. So I was like, he's not catching me."He's ready for that sight again."We're going to pop one," Sims said. "It's coming."Make sure you for the latest news, Quinnen Williams Jersey exclusive interviews, film breakdowns and so much more!Follow All Steelers on Twitter:
