Former Steelers Draftee, Long Snapper Colin Holba, Returns To Heinz Field With Jaguars

I find that there’s just about nothing that gets Pittsburgh Steelers fans talking more—outside of some serious drama—than when the opportunity arises to discuss a draft pick or a personnel decision that can be perceived as a bad move. Breaking news and things of that nature notwithstanding, these tend to be our articles that drive in the most discussion and traffic.

Yet I can’t help but wonder how much enthusiasm one can muster up over the unheralded return of Colin Holba to Heinz Field. Holba, the only long snapper drafted in 2017, was taken, naturally, by the Steelers in the sixth round, and the only way anybody could rationalize the decision—if they were willing to do so—was to contend that he would hold down the position for the next decade.
