Steelers LS Christian Kuntz Says He Was ‘Too Dumb To Realize’ Difficult NFL Path In Dogged Effort To Stick

To play in the NFL, you gotta be a little crazy. To put your body on the line in every practice, every game, every season. For Christian Kuntz, he admits he had to be a little dumb, too. Ignoring the low odds of making it in the NFL, especially for a small-school prospect like him from Duquesne, who didn’t exactly wow with his size and peak athleticism. But dumb is too harsh. Stubborn and driven are more apt to describe him, especially considering he beat incredibly long odds.

On the debut episode of his podcast, “The Christian Kuntz Podcast,” he discussed his winding journey to stick in the league.
