Steelers free agent DT Javon Hargrave receives major award, deserves recognition

Before the usual, all-anticipated Friday news dump and then breaking video of Steelers own QB Ben Roethlisberger throwing a football for the first time in months, a significant achievement was received by DT Javon Hargrave.

Something that would be held more dear to himself than what the recognition of a national headline could do. South Carolina State’s alumnus Hargrave was selected to be given the “Black College Football Pro Football Player of the Year” award. Presented by the NFLPA, it was founded in 2009 by former NFL QBs James Harris & Doug Williams.
