The move from linebacker to fullback turned out to be a great one for Roosevelt Nix in his NFL career, but when the moment Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin asked him to make the move, Nix couldn’t help but have some negative thoughts.
Appearing on the Arthur Moats Experience podcast Friday, Nix stated that while the move ended up being great for his career, he felt he was going down the same path he once was on with the Atlanta Falcons.
Coming out of college at Kent State, Nix was a defensive lineman at just 5-11, but in his first training camp with the Falcons in 2014, Nix got some work at fullback and eventually made the move there before getting cut at the end of camp.
