'Home Game' for Steve McLendon, Rontez Miles
Jets DT Played 6 Seasons for Pittsburgh, Safety/Special Teamer Grew Up Short Drive from Heinz Field
Pittsburgh is a big homecoming game for a number of Jets. Darrelle Revis grew up in nearby Aliquippa. Brandon Marshall was born there.
Two other contributors, both on the defensive side with lockers in the southeast quadrant of the Jets' locker room, also have homecoming stories to tell. DT Steve McLendon spent his first six pro seasons in black and gold. S Rontez Miles also grew up near the Steel City. Their stories, while different, touch similar themes.
Emotional Week for McLendon
