Vance McDonald may only have been with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the past three seasons, but he is a veteran of seven years in all during his NFL tenure. Before the next seasons gets underway, he will be crossing the 30-year mark, joining a relative few, particularly on the offensive side of the ball, and particularly at the skill positions, to hit that mark.
His veteran status was something that dawned upon him gradually last season, especially in the wake of Ben Roethlisberger’s injury. As somebody who just turned 38, it was easy for everybody else on the roster to feel younger than they are in comparison.
