I’ll admit I didn’t expect the Pittsburgh Steelers to sign a fullback as one of their ten undrafted free agents last month. But that’s what they did with Auburn’s Spencer Nigh. In this day and age, most teams don’t carry even one fullback, let alone two, and with Derek Watt’s roster spot cemented, it’s difficult to see any part of Nigh making it. But there is a chance and you don’t have to look too far back to find an example.
Roosevelt Nix didn’t waltz his way onto the roster. In fact, his odds of making it seemed to basically be zero.
