After the Steelers drafted linebacker Vince Williamshttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/vince-williams/1a43b14f-2f77-46b7-af1f-7eacffb085bf/) in 2013, linebackers coach Keith Butler was asked about the future of Sean Spencehttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/sean-spence/be819128-6117-419b-8586-f0c71facd389/). In the 2012 preseason Spence suffered a severe knee injury, one which left many questioning his future. Butler was among them.

“It will be miraculous if he does come back,” said Butler in response to whether Spence could return to the field in 2013. “It will be miraculous if he comes back next year. We are going to take a chance on him and see if he can come back. To me, he is worth every bit of that.

I hope this kid has a long career in Pittsburgh.

This generation's Rocky Blier? I know the injury circumstances are vastly different, but I simply meant a guy who was told he will never play again and then works his way back to be a dependable player.

Spence' s story is an inspirational one. But I have to give major kudos to Steelers organization in believing in him to keep him around this long instead of releasing him. This is a classy organization.

What's with all the crying? The players need to man up. Are they figure skaters or NFL players?
