There was a time when he first learned that he was being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers that wide receiver Ryan Switzer was dreading what the future would hold last summer. A 2017 fourth-round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys, he was sparsely used on offense as a rookie and already got traded once, to the Oakland Raiders, in April of 2018. In the weeks leading up to his trade, he felt distant from his teammates and coaches. He was considering whether football was really in the cards for him.
Now he is loving life in Pittsburgh, and it has become important for him to give back, as well.
