Roosevelt Nix’s time in Pittsburgh came to an abrupt end earlier this year. But he’s forever grateful for the chance to play for the black and gold.
“Man, I’m just truly blessed to be around some of the greatest football players ever,” he tells me in an interview last week. “To take that knowledge from Hall of Famers and apply that to my game, my rehab, my workouts, truly developing a mentality to win, a winning mentality, a winning team, a winning standard, a winning tradition. To play in front of Steelers’ Nation and all the fans and to have that love.
