Being a best dude on the team kind of guy got him into the fifth round.

His height at 6’2 would be very short for an NFL TE.  Many teams probably thought he’d be better suited as a FB.

Riley is a Yinzer’s wet dream. Match made in heaven.

Coach Cig's brother is an offensive assistant with the Steelers

This is a storied football franchise talking about a walk on. I'm seeing quite a marriage between the two.

Love the clip. A little route that I've begun to run again this last week has a name on a mailbox something like NOWAYSKI which always brings a smile to my face thinking about the multiple tanks it requires to take this Dude down. Rock on in Steeler Town Riley.

In his first year and will be working with Rodgers in his last year.  He better soak up all the knowledge he can from the annoying but HOF QB.
