Ryan Mundy, Safety

Mundy spent most of last year on the Steelers practice squad.  The Steelers have high hopes that Mundy will eventually replace Clark. They just don't think he is ready to make the leap just yet.

I expect Mundy to be someone to stay off the practice squad this year and compete for playing time.

 

Roy Lewis, Cornerback

Lewis was signed as a rookie free agent after last year's draft.  He earned some special teams playing time, but does not look to be someone that is going to compete for playing time.

 

Tyrone Carter, Strong Safety.

At 33-years-old, Carter has been a great back up for the Steelers since Super Bowl XL.  He is not known as a full-time starter, but comes in in certain situations, and plays well.

Depending on how the rookies do, Carter may be out of a job come the regular season.
