The journey from college to professional football is unique for almost every single NFL player, and that mantra certainly holds true for Steelers rookie Christian Montano.
After playing at Brown for 4 seasons—he unofficially redshirted his freshman year, as the Ivy League prohibits players from officially sitting out—Montano was in search of a new home subsequent to breaking his foot. The injury came in the Bears’ first game of 2018 at Cal Poly, causing him to miss nearly all of the 2018 season.
Montano—who was named a captain in his 5th year in Providence—found that new home in Tulane, both a nascent community via nurturing coaches and a truly distinct environment relative to his hometown of Milford, Connecticut.
