Hearing your name called in the NFL Draft is only something about 255ish football players around the world ever get to experience in any given year. It’s not a requirement to make it in the league—the Pittsburgh Steelers have certainly had their share of undrafted success stories—but it’s still a moment you never forget if you have the opportunity to experience it.
We often hear the draft stories when the event is around the corner, as it is now, and third-year Steelers safety Tre Norwood recently shared his own for the team’s website. Interestingly, though not surprisingly in hindsight, he said he had very little contact with the team, which is less common for Pittsburgh with late-round picks.
