Everybody likes an underdog. For some, that only lasts until he gets a starting job or gets paid. But for most—at least I hope—the fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers are celebrating along with former sixth-round pick Vince Williams after the veteran signed his second extension with the team, and the first as a starter.
Williams, who is basically the Ramon Foster of the linebacker group, said reporting to training camp that he wanted to die a Pittsburgh Steeler. He took a major step in that direction yesterday with his three-year contract extension that runs through the 2021 season and assures that he will play at least nine seasons with the team that took a chance on him back in 2013 as an unheralded Florida State product.
