Pittsburgh Steelers fans have been and understandably continue to be excited about first-year outside linebacker Howard Jones, who managed to stick on the practice squad for the entirety of the 2014 season after being signed by the team as an undrafted free agent.
As I wrote previously in an article pertaining to the unfortunate suicide of former Steeler Adrian Robinson recently, this team’s fan base has an especial affinity for underdog pass rushers, a tendency no doubt largely stemming from the wildly successful career of James Harrison, who at 37 is still playing with the team.
