Roosevelt Nix is known as the skull-crushing fullback and special teams ace. But it wasn’t that long ago that Nix was a nameless face, scratching and clawing his way to break into the league. That journey began as a linebacker too, not a fullback.
It wasn’t until the Pittsburgh Steelers scooped him up and turned him from longshot to starter. Reflecting back, Nix credits the coaching staff for molding him.
“I learn something new every day and my coaches have helped me progress,” he told This Week News, a local paper in his hometown.
