Steelers' Terrell Edmunds commits false start after draft call

PITTSBURGH -- Safety Terrell Edmunds committed a false start in his first moments as an NFL player.

Edmunds was so excited to get the call from the Pittsburgh Steelers as the 28th overall pick in the NFL draft that he rushed out of the restroom a little too early.

"I was in the restroom (Thursday night), using the bathroom, and I was washing my hands," said Edmunds at his introductory press conference at the Steelers' UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. "I had my phone sitting on the sink. Coach (Mike Tomlin) called me. I was so excited, I just grabbed a paper towel real quick, dried off my hands, threw it away, my pants unbuckled still, just running out there talking to my parents.
