With undrafted rookie free agent fullback Monte Pottebaum shockingly retiring Sunday just a few days into training camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers, an opportunity opened up at the position for the Black and Gold.
That opportunity was seized upon Friday night during the Steelers’ Friday Night Lights practice at Latrobe High School by none other than center Kendrick Green.
Wait, WHAT?
Green, a former third-round pick out of Illinois that started 15 games as a rookie in 2021 and then spent the 2022 season inactive on the 53-man roster at guard, received some fullback reps Friday night in front of the 13,000 fans packed into the high school stadium to watch the Black and Gold get after it in another padded practice.
