Post-Draft Outlook:COULD SURPRISE: RB Frank Summers is a 5-9 1/2, 242-pounder who runs low to the ground and has a nose for the goal line. That's something the Steelers have lacked for awhile and it's caused them problems inside the 5. That's why if Summers comes as advertised, the Tank can become the new Bus. A closer look at the Steelers' picks: Round 5/169 -- Frank Summers, 5-9, 242, Nevada-Las Vegas...Frank "The Tank" will get a chance to become the first true short-yardage back the Steelers have had since Jerome Bettis retired. Summers can catch and block so he can be used as a fullback if needed. - by The Sports Xchange
