Nearly every player in the NFL, and definitely with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has at least a somewhat familiar background and framework. High school football to college to becoming a professional. They might take long and windy paths to get there, bouncing from school to school, or play at a low-level where rarely anyone makes it to Sundays, but it’s all the same idea. College football in the United States as the springboard to the league. That’s true for almost everyone.
Except these three guys. In recent years, it’s become a bit more common to see international or otherwise unusual paths to the league.
