Change can oftentimes be rather uncomfortable, especially in professional sports.
Aiming to make your own change and making a decision that puts you in an uncomfortable position is exactly what Pittsburgh Steelers veteran safety Kenny Robinson did in January. Leaving the only NFL home he’s ever known in the Carolina Panthers, he signed a Reserve/Futures deal with the Steelers, giving himself a chance to return home and try to make the 53-man roster.
The West Virginia product went from a core special teams piece in Carolina to a roster hopeful in Pittsburgh. So far, he’s looked the part and seems to have an inside track on cracking the 53-man roster, thanks to his playmaking in training camp.
