Brown is relishing his 'two-fold job assignment' at the Senior Bowl

MOBILE, Ala. -- Grady Brown was really looking forward to some time away from the game at the end of the season.

But, the Steelers had an opportunity to send him to the Senior Bowl as defensive coordinator for the National Team and couldn't pass it up. It didn't take long to see why he was the one Art Rooney II, Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin wanted in Mobile for this event: He's a football junkie just like the head coach is a football junkie.

"I was just telling someone before, you go through a season and look forward to having some time off away from the game, be with your family and rest a little bit," Brown said after the National Team's practice at Hancock Whitney Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
