Pittsburgh Steelers first-year fullback Roosevelt Nix has established himself as a fan favorite this season, and it’s not hard to see why with a fan base such as the one the Steelers have. He is a blue collar player with a relentless motor and an underdog story to boot.
He was signed by the Steelers to play inside linebacker, but was moved to fullback to give him a chance to earn a roster spot, even though they figured to have Will Johnson entrenched in that role. Nix not only made the 53-man roster for his special teams prowess, however, he has also absorbed most of the snaps that Johnson would have gotten.
