What place new Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive lineman James Daniels stays unclear, but when the native media has its manner, Daniels would be the subsequent in a protracted line of standout facilities within the Metal Metropolis.
Although Daniels has performed simply 508 profession snaps at heart in his 4 years within the NFL with the Chicago Bears, he does carry heart expertise to the desk general, having began a number of years at heart on the College of Iowa.
No matter what place he performs in Pittsburgh, Daniels is keenly conscious of those who got here earlier than him within the black and gold, and is aiming to go away the colours of the jersey in a greater place throughout his time with the Steelers.
“I don’t have a favourite place, however I do know…the custom of Pittsburgh facilities,” Daniels stated throughout his introductory press convention with the native media Thursday, in response to video through the Steelers’ YouTube web page. “I imply, I’m excited. It’s simply not facilities. I imply, there’s simply been so many nice gamers which have got here which have wore these jerseys…I’m simply making an attempt to go away the jersey in a greater place.”
Daniels comes off as a quiet chief, one that’s exceptionally sensible, although he does’t painting that he is aware of it. Whereas no person of their proper minds is projecting Daniels to be the following Corridor of Fame caliber heart or offensive lineman in Steelers’ historical past, he brings a sure degree of stability and pedigree to the desk, one thing the Steelers definitely didn’t have final season.
Although the place stays within the air in the meanwhile, Daniels is simply targeted on doing regardless of the group wants alongside the offensive line, echoing the feedback made by fellow new Steelers offensive lineman Mason Cole.
“I’m simply making an attempt to do, no matter’s finest for the group, so it doesn’t matter [what position I play],” Daniels stated. “It doesn’t matter what positions I’m at, so long as I’m serving to the group win video games. In order that’s all I’m making an attempt to do.”
By doing that, he’ll definitely depart the jersey in a greater place than he discovered it.
