Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker L.J. Fort is officially moving on with life’s work. In an Instagram post Thursday, Fort reflected on his 10-year career, thanking teams, coaches, teammates, and friends for their support while sharing a collage of photos of his playing days.
“I didn’t get picked up until Thursday after the draft, preparing to start another career. All I needed was an opportunity and I’m forever thankful to the ones who gave me just that! Never could have imagined 10 years in the game!
Thank you to all my family, friends, teammates, agent, trainers, staff, and organizations who helped me turn my childhood dream into a reality!
