If there’s anything that I’ve learned about sports fans over the years, it is that they always love an underdog, at least up until the point that they might actually be counted upon. As a group, the Pittsburgh Steelers fan base has certainly thrown its weight behind some pretty questionable talent in the recent past, though we’ve also done quite well with guys like Mike Hilton and Alejandro Villanueva.
I can’t think of a bigger ‘underdog’ story this offseason though than ‘tight end’ Christian Scotland-Williamson (number 49 pictured above), and I put tight end in quotation marks because he has never even played football before, let alone that position.
