Injured Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier has never said 'Why me?'

Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert sees Ryan Shazier work to overcome his spine injury on a daily basis at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side.

There is one thing he has not seen.

“Never once has he said ‘Why me?’ ” Colbert said.

“I know that’s an uplifting gesture for us and those who deal with him. He shows us everybody has problems but he’s going to work to overcome his as we should ours.”

Shazier was injured Dec. 4 while making a tackle in Cleveland. He had spinal stabilization surgery 10 days later.
