FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The video clip lives on the internet, just a few clicks away for anyone inordinately interested in the 2013 NFL combine. There, you’ll see Rontez Miles perform the 40-yard dash and the vertical jump for 32 professional football teams, all while wearing the crest of one of them on his left shoulder.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are, quite literally, on Miles’ flesh and in his blood, courtesy of a tattoo that was plainly visible during the combine (they were made to wear cut-off shirts, he said ruefully).
