I know, a few years ago, I was in Pittsburgh on vacation at the same time the draft was going on...me and my buddy were in a restaurant and they had the draft on, and being from Illinois I was waiting for Mendenhall to get picked...of course, the Steelers (my 2nd favorite team after Da Bears) grabbed him, and I kept explaining to the Steeler fans, knowing their franchise, that it was a good pick for them and that they would like him because he's a blue-collar player. There's just certain organizations that have a face and style that no matter what doesn't change, and the Steelers are one of those groups. Places like Pittsburgh and Chicago think tough athletic defense first, but also quickness on the offensive side of the ball mixed in with the big power back.
