If you were anything like me, you were inundated with text messages as you watched the Steelers take on the Eagles in Pittsburgh’s second preseason game at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field last Thursday night.
It’s rather commonplace in modern times of sports watching. Only, the texts I was receiving this time around were to alert me that the Steelers had traded for inside linebacker Joe Schobert. Those text messages inspired me to use the Google machine to research Schobert’s career that began with the Browns as a 2016 fourth-round out of Wisconsin. Schobert gained a reputation as a prolific tackler while in Cleveland and even earned a trip to the Pro Bowl in 2017.
