Arthur Moats, a linebacker out of James Madison University, was a sixth-round draft pick back in 2010. However, his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t begin until 2014, when he was signed as a free agent.
Moats appeared on The Christian Kuntz Podcast on Thursday, and he had a funny story to tell about his interesting first experience with the Steelers, after failing to agree to terms with the franchise that drafted him, the Buffalo Bills.
“I remember coach Tomlin hit me up. He’s like, ‘yeah, man, you know, we from the same spot back home, take a chance on me’… so I’m like, all right, cool, let’s do it, and we get the deal done,” said Moats.
