First off, why did you take on the tryout at Pittsburgh versus another team?
I’ve been away for so long from home – except for the Summer and holidays. I was a walk-on at Tulsa, then got a scholarship at Southeastern Louisiana then went to Central Michigan my final two years.
It feels good to get an opportunity to play for such an awesome franchise that’s so deeply rooted in the NFL. So coming back home to Pittsburgh was a no-brainer. They always have some of the best lineman and offensive line coaches. And Coach Tomlin is one of the best coaches in the game.
