Brett Keisel Had ‘Really Hard Time’ Adjusting To Steelers 3-4 System

The Pittsburgh Steelers have their fair share of late-round draft picks and undrafted players that exceeded expectations to have long and meaningful careers with the team. All-Pro linebacker Greg Lloyd and receiver Antonio Brown were drafted in the sixth round, and Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison was undrafted, just to name a few. One name that belongs on this list is former defensive end and fan-favorite Brett Keisel, who was drafted in the seventh round out of BYU and went on to have a 12-year career with the team. In doing so, he had to make several difficult adjustments, which he delved into on Monday’s episode of the Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger.
