Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Mike Adams joined the All For Nothing podcast Monday to discuss his life and career. These days, yoga is his calling card. A decade ago, it was football. A former second-round pick, Adams played in Pittsburgh from 2012 to 2014. He had an underwhelming career, starting just 20 games, and was quickly bounced from the league.

Adams is remembered for an off-field incident that occurred in June 2013. In the early morning hours of June 1, Adams was stabbed and held at gunpoint in a carjacking. He recovered and was cleared to start the 2013 season but struggled mightily, effectively the beginning of the end of his career.
