Fitzgerald Toussaint The Right Choice For Practice Squad
A lot of people don’t seem to be particularly exhilarated or, dare I say, inspired by the Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to go with third-year running back Fitzgerald Toussaint as their practice squad member at the position. I happen to think that it is a virtually ideal choice, and here’s why.
