Throughout much of his career, veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson has been the consummate professional. He’s been a key figure in every community he’s spent time in, giving back in a number of ways, and he’s always been up front and honest in his dealings with the media, too.
Since joining the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency this offseason, that’s been the case in the Steel City for Peterson, who was named the Steelers’ “The Chief” award winner Wednesday in his first season with the franchise.
“The Chief” award is given annually to the top Steelers’ player for his personality and cooperation with local media.
