Friday’s media sessions kicked off this year’s East-West Shrine Bowl week, the 97th consecutive year this collegiate all-star game will be played, first beginning back in 1925. For our first interview of the day, Josh Carney, Dr. Melanie Friedlander, and myself were able to engage in a great conversation with a versatile cornerback who I am extremely high on in Arizona State’s Chase Lucas. His work in a Herm Edwards/Marvin Lewis led defense, one which shares many key principles with Tomlin’s current defense in Pittsburgh, made him an easy connection to the team.
Josh Carney: You know you went to Arizona State, you were a multi-year starter under Herm Edwards, and obviously Marvin Lewis was there as well.
