New Steeler Kevin Dotson lifelong Pittsburgh fan

It’s rare when an NFL team drafts a prospect who actually rooted for the team that drafts them. We all remember last season when the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted cornerback Justin Layne, a hardcore Cleveland Browns fan from a Browns family. Awkward.

But this isn’t the case for the Steelers this year and fourth-round pick Kevin Dotson. Dotson is a lifelong Steelers fan and showed it off in a short video just after being drafted by Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh got themselves and exceptional player in Dotson. He’s an experienced starter from Louisiana Tech and a powerful driving blocking guard. He should be the primary backup at guard this season with an eye on a starting spot in a season or two.
