When Jeremy Kapinoshttp://www.steelersuniverse.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/team/roster/jeremy-kapinos/4a2b247a-8f28-4da8-b6d2-be1b83624a27/) got a call from his agent last Friday, he didn’t want to get his hopes too high.
His agent told him he had received a call from the Steelers and punter Dan Sepulveda was experiencing issues with his right knee and the team might be looking to bring someone in.
“I know Dan and I thought Dan is like a robot,” said Kapinos of his initial reaction. “If he just ices it, he will be fine.”
So Kapinos went about his normal business, even heading out to take his dog for a walk. When he got back, he looked at his phone and saw he missed about seven calls. He knew something was up. He was right............
“It felt great,” said Kapinos. “It didn’t really sink in until the defense was introduced and I heard the crowd and the ‘Here We Go Steelers’ chants. It was just real surreal. I told Shaun (Suisham) when I was walking on the field that I didn’t think the odds of me walking back on the field at Heinz Field were good.
“It’s great to be here. Of all of the places I have been to and tried out, this has always been number one. It was a weird feeling running out of that tunnel again. It was like I never left. When I was cut after camp it was more disappointing that I wasn’t going to be a Steeler than I was unemployed. I really love it here.”
