Former rugby standout has a chance to crack the Steelers roster in 2019

Whether you are a Steelers fan or not, Christian Scotland-Williamson is probably not a name you are overly familiar with. The former rugby standout was part of the International Player Pathway Program to get players from other countries involved in the NFL.

But Scotland-Williamson has a chance to be more than just an international practice squad player for the Steelers.

The big rugby standout made the switch to tight end upon entering football. Though the two sports share some similarities, Scotland-Williamson still had a lot to learn. Now with a year of football under his belt, the London native has a chance to make his name known in Pittsburgh.
