Following the conclusion of the NFL Draft on Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers inked 10 undrafted free agents to contracts. One of them was Jake Dixon, an offensive tackle from Duquesne, just two miles away from Heinz Field. Dixon’s journey to the NFL was not a straight line however, as the Bethel Park, Pa. native originally committed to play volleyball as a senior in high school. As Aidan Joly profiled in the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette last July, Dixon struggled with injuries during his high school football career, which left him with a limited amount of tape to show to potential schools.
