With the memory of the departed offensive lineman Guy Whimper ("Abdullah the Butcher") still fresh, it is encouraging to see the Steelers's 2015 crop of UFAs includes a tackle by the name of Kevin Whimpey, 6'5", 295, out of Utah State. With a name like "Whimpey," he's got to be tough.
So, we figure, Guy may have gone out with a Whimper, but Kevin's going to enter minicamp with a bang. Nothing whimpy about this offensive tackle.
