In the NFL, you often hear plenty of feel-good stories including players that come from rags to riches, rising from poverty to make it in the league and bring their families to a place of prosperity. You also will hear of stories like J.J. Watt when he decided that he wanted to bet on himself, opting to go from playing at Central Michigan and walk on at Wisconsin, delivering pizzas for a local Pizza Hut to raise up the funds to pay for tuition before he would earn a full scholarship with the Badgers.
And then you have newly-signed Pittsburgh Steelers LB Tyler Murray who was signed to the team’s practice squad earlier today.
