Steelers RB Dri Archer is ready for his close-up

What Steelers second year running back Dri Archer brings to the table is very much still an unknown; however, after his first action of 2015, he has to look of a player ready for his close-up.

"We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to survive, we're going to live on."

Those emphatic words were pre-triumphantly voiced by Bill Pullman in the 1996 summer blockbuster, Independence Day. And even though he isn't battling aliens threatening to destroy both Earth and Judd Hirsch, I feel this passage perfectly sums up the urgency of a certain Steeler utility-man with a world-to-prove this preseason.
