There’s a desire to be tall. Better on a basketball court, never turned away from a roller coaster ride. But for the last few years, Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive end Matt Conrath probably wishes he was a little shorter.
The height came before his weight. By his senior year of high school, it had already peaked. At over 6’7, maybe towered is the better word. Listings of his weight ranged from 235 to 245 pounds. Either way, a lanky body.
He was dominant at St. Rita’s high school in Chicago. Eight sacks and 87 tackles his senior year.
