Bettis Faces Battle for Steelers Job in 2000 Camp
Jerome Bettis arrives for training camp alongside 17 veterans unsigned, amid questions over his contract year and role. Pittsburgh added Richard Huntley to boost backfield depth, pressuring Bettis to rebound after a 1091 rushing yard season on a 6-10 team. Coach Cowher and offensive coordinator Gilbride stress no changes yet, betting Bettis must reclaim elite form to secure a lucrative extension.
