Our story begins in Abbotsford, a city in British Columbia that holds a population of just over 140,000. It is a city known for its farm country, its airshow and its tulip festival. It is not known for its NFL pipelines, though it was here in Abbotsford that the newest member of the Pittsburgh Steelers saw his football career begin. While Pittsburgh may be the newest destination in Chase Claypool’s journey, Abbotsford has always been his home.
It was here where the Canadian prospect emerged as one of the country’s most talked about players.
