Jesse James Happy To Be In Pittsburgh

Jesse James doesn’t know what the future holds for him, but he’s happy about the present.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ fifth round pick, a South Allegheny native, is grateful to be playing near his hometown and under the tutelage of a veteran like Heath Miller.

“There wasn’t a better place to go as a tight end in this year’s draft. To be able to come in and play under great tight ends here, it’s a great situation for me to be able to learn from them and hopefully take what I learn and display it on the field,” the tight end told Dan Scifo of The Associated Press.
