Tony Dungy Recalls The Time A Steelers Fan Jump-Started His Car: ‘They Would Do Anything For Us’

For Tony Dungy, home-field advantage took on a whole new meaning. While Dungy is a household name now with an illustrious coaching career, he once was a young player for the Pittsburgh Steelers just trying to make it through week-to-week while learning the NFL game. Sometimes, he was just trying to make it home.

Dungy appeared on Sirius Radio Thursday morning, mostly to discuss the life and legacy of Franco Harris. But Dungy also told stories about his time in Pittsburgh and the impact his teammates – and fans – left on him. He shared the time a fan helped get him home from a game.
