The Pittsburgh Steelers have 45 players taking the field for rookie minicamp this weekend. With the first day of camp coming today, Friday, May 9, it is the first opportunity to see many of these players in a Steelers uniform. Even though it is just with practice jerseys and “football shorts,“ it is still an opportunity to get a first look at these players in action.

Looking for information as to what’s going on at rookie minicamp, a compilation from various sources can be seen below. As more information becomes available, it will be added. The information in chronological order (as best as I can) with the newest reports at the bottom of the stream.

Steelers first-round pick Derrick Harmon says he’s doing OK but obviously still dealing with the grief of losing his mom on draft night. “I’m in football. I’m in my element.” Said it was a dream come true to see his locker here at the start of rookie minicamp. pic.twitter.com/V6MAreuTkO

Derrick Harmon was asked what’s going on with his shoulder and how he manages it:

“There’s nothing wrong with my shoulder. I’m 100%.”

Thoughts on Rookie Camp: Will Howard knows what to say and is a polished speaker; Kaleb Johnson has similar ht/wt as Najee but totally different physique (longer); you don't want to meet Jack Sawyer in a dark alley.

It's not that much of a surprise, but Sebastian Castro said he is playing at both safety and in the slot. He was a six-year player in college.

Castro fully expected to get drafted and was 'crushed' he didn't. He's got a chip on his shoulder coming into Pittsburgh.

A few quick-hit takeaways from camp in shorts!

– Yahya Black and Derrick Harmon are big, big guys

– Black has some real power behind his punches

– UDFA Roc Taylor — that's a big WR. X-only based on frame IMO

– Kaleb Johnson's movement is smooth. Cuts and such look so easy

New Steelers OLB Jack Sawyer said that at his draft party, everyone was huddled around the TV when his OSU teammate Will Howard got selected:

"As soon as they said his name, the party cheered louder for him than they did for me."
