Steelers rookie center, Kendrick Green, made news last week when he requested and was issued No. 53, the same digit the recently-retired Maurkice Pouncey donned for 11 highly-decorated years.
On one hand, it made sense because Green wore No. 53 at Illinois. On the other hand, it didn’t make sense because Pouncey is a legend who may eventually wind up in Canton.
Make sense?
When it comes to Steelers digits and the ones that are held sacred and off-limits and those that are exposed to the expansion draft of unknown rookies, nothing really makes much sense.
