How bout Randl El too????

The quarterback-turned-receiver has been having a good camp, as former Steelers coach Chuck Noll used to like to say. The reward for that will be the chance to play ahead of 12-year NFL veteran Terance Mathis, who was signed to fill the slot position vacated by Bobby Shaw's free-agent defection until Randle El grasped the nuances of catching footballs rather than throwing them.

If Randle El comes through as the Steelers suspect against the Jets, he'll be well on his way to becoming this year's version of Kendrell Bell (the Steelers No. 2 pick a year ago who had such an outstanding preseason that he made the offseason signing of veteran inside linebacker Mike Jones a non-factor).
