Jamir Jones Takes ‘Prove Why You Can’t Get Rid Of Me’ Mentality To Work Every Day

Jamir Jones is already a fan favorite, and perhaps the one player on the roster bubble during training camp that Pittsburgh Steelers faithful were most hoping would end up on the 53. They had their wish granted, as he was indeed kept as one of only four outside linebackers, but he understands who close a call it must have been—and especially that he must continue to win the job he now has.

“I’m not gonna lie and say you don’t get those thoughts, but you’ve definitely got to suppress them the best you can and just come every day and prove what you should be here”, he told reporters late last week when he was asked about considering the ‘numbers game’ at the outside linebacker position.
