On Sunday, Mike Vrabel returns to his first NFL home of Pittsburgh for the first time since becoming head coach of the Tennessee Titans in 2018.
The Akron, Ohio-born Vrabel, who played linebacker for 14 seasons, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 1997 NFL draft.
But with guys named Jason Gildon, Earl Holmes, Levon Kirkland, Greg Lloyd and later Joey Porter, opportunities to start are nil. And that was the case for Vrabel.
In four seasons with Pittsburgh, Vrabel never had a start.
