The Pittsburgh Steelers signed first-year player Roosevelt Nix to a Reserve/Future contract early this year, back in January. Originally signing with the Falcons as a linebacker, the 5’11”, 260-pounder was eventually converted to fullback before ultimately getting cut.
Like the Falcons, the Steelers brought in Nix as a linebacker, but they, too, quickly converted him to fullback after realizing just how deep they were at inside linebacker. Even when injuries mounted at the position, Nix was fully committed to his new position at fullback, seemingly relishing the opportunity to use his large from as a battering ram.
