New nose tackle Breiden Fehoko is both the Pittsburgh’s largest and smallest addition via free agency this offseason, short of perhaps Nate Herbig. Signed to just a one-year minimum deal, he claims to be 320 pounds “on a good day”, as in a ‘light’ day, citing a wildly fluctuating weight stemming from his Polynesian background.
But that’s fine by him, because he knows who he is not only as a person but as a football player, and he’s come to more than accept but to embrace what he has to offer. “I’m made here to sit my big ass in the middle of a defense and make sure everybody else eats”, he told Kevin Adams and Jersey Jerry on the Steel Here podcast, “and I’ve learned to understand that and grow in that role”.
