The Pittsburgh Steelers have asked much of 2013 sixth round draft pick Vince Williams in his short time as a professional athlete in the NFL.
He was issued the jersey number of Steelers’ great Casey Hampton mere months after the team released the twelve year veteran, who started in 164 of the 173 games he played in during his time in Pittsburgh. Steelers’ Nation is fond of the numbers that their former players wear, especially the 98 that stretched over the gut of Hampton for over a decade, and the decision to give it to a rookie was more than likely not received well by some.
