They say that good things come to those who wait, but it wouldn’t seem to me that Pittsburgh Steelers fullback Roosevelt Nix is a man who can be accurately portrayed as a patient man. And it seems that each week he gets closer and closer to accomplishing in a meaningful game what he has already shown twice during exhibition bouts: blocking a punt.
The Steelers have played five games so far during the 2017 regular season, and he has come close to blocking a punt in four of them. There were a couple of other plays within the mix that he got somewhat close, but not enough to send anybody biting their nails.
