No football player wants to be called soft. Especially not an offensive lineman. For Kevin Dotson, he hopes 2022 proved his doubters wrong. In a one-on-one interview with Steelers.com’s Dale Lolley, Dotson says he heard his detractors accuse him of not being tough enough for the NFL.
“I was trying to just change some people’s minds over me,” Dotson told Lolley. “I’ve never been known to be that person to miss any time. So that was kind of a crazy thing to hear. There’s a lot of background noise of people and who thought I was soft.
