Pittsburgh Panthers EDGE rusher Habakkuk Baldonado is having a good start to his week at the East-West Shrine Bowl. On Sunday in particular he shows drop some great pass rush moves in practice and was pretty dominate. Earlier this weekend, Melanie Friedlander and I sat down with Baldonado here in Las Vegas at the 98th edition of the East-West Shrine Bowl and we got to talk all about his transition form Italy to the United Sates, interacting with Pittsburgh Steelers coaches at the shared Pitt and Steelers facility, and how he likes to prepare for games.
For those who don’t know, Baldonado grew up in Italy, a country which is known for the football played with one’s feet, not hands.
