Broderick Jones has found himself front and center in Narrative Junction. There’s a Pittsburgh Steeler who finds himself there every year. A polarizing player and often one easy to criticize. Every mistake magnified and, often, every success ignored or downplayed. And Jones feels like he’s in that camp.
Now, he’s not a victim. The start of his training camp was poor. There’s no getting around that. He struggled during the team’s four pad-less practices before popping up with a groin injury that shelved him for a few days. With pads on and a full return to practice, Jones has strung together solid practices.
