Pretty sure that is what the Steelers took him on. He is an athelete. You can teach an athelete anything. We had a kid out of our city got a full ride scholarship to UNLV as an OT. He never even played Oline in high school. He was a qb and a basketball kid. Also had the frame to carry 300+ lbs. I think he is still on practice squads in the NFL. Boyko.
WowZa.......... Good to know and maybe that was the reasoning for the HOLD OUT,.......wanted paid OT money with #4 TE pay on top of that...!!!! Gotta love his story though...and his LOT play.
The funny thing is the way Tomlin noticed him was during a pre season game vs the Eagles, Tomlin look over at the Eagles sideline during the anthem and saw a guy so much bigger than everyone else.
