So, you know how it’s always brought up about how some player should change positions for whatever particular reason the commenter might have? Ryan Shazier moving to safety, Alejandro Villanueva moving to tight end, Vince Williams moving to outside linebacker. These are just some that we’ve heard over the past year about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster.
Of course some position changes do work, but generally they come in early among players who are not established. Villanueva himself was playing defensive end when the Steelers added him to their practice squad a few years ago and stuck him on the offensive line, where he played a bit in college.
