Josh Metellus admits it's weird not to be on the same field as Devin Bush Jr.
For the past seven years, the two shared the same team, from Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines, Fla., to Michigan.
Friday night, Metellus spoke with reporters while Bush made his NFL debut with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first week of the preseason.
It's another sign of Metellus' experience. He's the elder statesman on defense now, along with a few other teammates from that 2016 class (including linebacker Devin Gil, who also played on the same high school team).
