The old saying is the most popular player on the team is the backup quarterback.
In Pittsburgh, it’s arguably the fullback. Sorry Landry Jones.
Roosevelt Nix came into training camp a long-shot. Will Johnson was on the roster and had secured his spot from Day One – what chance did this former defensive lineman have?
Yet here we are, gushing over another impact play Nix has made. Sunday, it came in the form of a forced fumble on a kickoff that the Steelers would recover and score on a few plays later.
