When you get down to talking about the 45th and 46th players to get a helmet for a game, there usually isn’t a great deal of intrigue involved in the discussion, but it was a bit curious to see second-year former undrafted free agent running back Fitzgerald Toussaint get a helmet over Jordan Todman on Sunday night for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He not only got a helmet for the game, of course, he essentially played the role that Todman had been playing, and actually got more opportunities. The young running back served as the up back on special teams, and was also used as the backup to DeAngelo Williams, though the team has rarely used the services of more than one back in a game.
