One of the most fascinating things for me this season has been watching Vince Williams. Not just on the field, but off the field and in the media. This offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers made not one but two splashes to address his position, and at least publicly, he never blinked, but rather embraced the competition as a way in which the front office was striving to make the team better. Even if it hurt his playing time individually—and it certainly did.
As he told Gerry Dulac, after the Steelers traded up to get Devin Bush with the 10th-overall pick back in April, he pushed to get the rookie linebacker’s locker next to his.
