Following an injury last season in a Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals that put his playing career, and even his life, in jeopardy, Ohio State legend Ryan Shazier has been an inspiration to his teammates, fans, and everyone in the football community.
The next chapter on his road to recovery happened on Thursday night as he walked out— let me repeat, Ryan Shazier walked out— to the podium to deliver the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft.
With his fiancé by his side, Shazier slowly, but confidently, made his way out onto the stage after being welcomed by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and announced that the Steelers had selected Virginia Tech safety Terrell Edmunds with the 28th pick of the first round.
