It is funny how much circumstances can dictate outcomes. Particularly in the NFL, where just 0.023 percent of high school football players advance to the professional level, so many outside factors can influence a player’s success or lack thereof. One three-time Super Bowl winner started his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but unfortunate circumstances forced him to pivot to a long and successful career with the San Francisco 49ers.
“It was my first year in training camp. I was drafted by the Steelers. They said I was the tight end of the future,” said Brent Jones via the East Coast Red & Gold Podcast.
