PITTSBURGH -- Fullbacks must keep their edge at all times to survive in the NFL. Roosevelt Nix handled a question about the joy of signing a four-year contract after a Pro Bowl season like a kickout assignment on a Power-O run.
"Ain't nothing guaranteed," said Nix, who signed his new deal Saturday. "To me, it means we’ve got more work to do. Now, there’s a value placed on me and I’m expected to perform. That’s what I’m going to do."
Nix takes this approach because football was taken from him, almost for good.
