Skylar Thompson: Skylar Thompson Shines In Preseason Victory

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson completed 20 of his 28 pass attempts for 233 yards and three touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 31-25 preseason win. He added three rushing yards on one carry. Thompson took over for Mason Rudolph after two offensive possessions and was electric in his three quarters of play. Most notably, the former Miami Dolphin connected with undrafted rookie receiver Ke'Shawn Williams on a 26-yard deep ball for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but previously scored on red-zone passes to running backs Max Hurleman and Trey Sermon. With rookie quarterback Will Howard (hand) possibly sidelined for the entire preseason, Thompson should see plenty of exhibition opportunities and could earn a spot on a 53-man roster if he continues to play like this. His next shot will come against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night.
