2018 Season Breakdown:
L.J. Fort’s NFL career began all the way back in 2012, but while he had some playing experience as a rookie with the Cleveland Browns, it wasn’t until several years later when he finally hooked up with the Steelers that he found some sense of stability.
He slowly but steadily clawed his way to a bigger role with greater responsibilities as the years progressed, beginning as a fringe option bouncing to and from the practice squad.
