CARLSBAD, Calif. — When Anthony Steen was growing up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, starting a football game for the Miami Dolphins at the Los Angeles Rams was not exactly part of the grand plan.
“Heck, I promised my grandma I would grow up and be a country singer and buy her a ranch so she could live out in the country and do whatever she wanted,” Steen said as he walked off the Dolphins’ practice field on Friday afternoon.
Now, suddenly, Steen, who played guard at Alabama, is being called upon to replace Pro Bowler Mike Pouncey (doubtful/hip) and be the glue of an offensive line with new starters at left tackle (Laremy Tunsil) and left guard (Kraig Urbik).
