BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The NFL challenge is clear. Simon Stepaniak knows that. The former Indiana offensive line standout has spent much of his life training for it.
Now that it's arrived courtesy of Saturday's sixth-round selection by the Green Bay Packers, Stepaniak knows what to expect.
"It's just competing every day," he says. "The NFL is a dog-eat-dog environment. I know what I'm stepping into. You've got to be 100 percent ready to go."
The phone call that changed Stepaniak's life came while he was at his mother's Ohio home waiting, wondering and watching.
