LATROBE, Pa. -- Kendrick Green wanted to run the ball in youth football.
A red sticker on his helmet signaled to everyone around him that he wasn’t allowed.
“I was always too heavy,” the 6-2, 315-pound Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman said after a training camp practice Tuesday. “Where I'm from, they give you a red sticker when you're too heavy, so you can't run the ball, you’ve got to play on the line.”
There certainly wasn’t a red dot on his helmet when he suited up for the Steelers’ annual Friday Night Lights practice at Latrobe Memorial Stadium during the second week of training camp.
