Former Steelers TE Jesse James seemed ready to escape Pittsburgh when he left in free agency, but the draft still meant everything to him. A 2015 fifth-round pick out of Penn State, he spent half his NFL career with his hometown team. Recently, for WTAJ, he recalled the day he found out the Steelers drafted him.
“Everyone likes to think they’re going to a certain place, but it doesn’t always work out the way you want”, James told Riley Holsinger. He was talking about the uncertainty of the Steelers taking him in the draft.
