By all accounts, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Jesse James had a debut performance to forget last Sunday during the Hall of Fame game. While bearing a heavy heart and clouded mind due to the very recent death of a close friend, his on-field performance suffered significantly, flagged for two penalties, dropping a touchdown pass, and allowing another pass to bounce off of his chest plate for an interception.
The former Penn State tight end had a much quieter day on Friday during the Steelers’ second preseason game, and I mean that in a positive way.
