Count Steeler

Brandon Lindsey likes the way he looks in black and gold.
He envisions himself wearing a Steelers' uniform in games that count.
It would be a dream come true to play for the team he and his family root for every weekend during the NFL season.
But for that to happen, the former Aliquippa High School star must overcome long odds.
For starters, he's an undrafted free agent.
He also signed with a team well-stocked at outside linebacker.
"I have my foot in the door," said Lindsey, who'll be at team headquarters again today for the third and final session of the Steelers' rookie mini-camp. "But now I have to do the work. I have to do everything in my power to make this team."
