A must read for Steelers Nation, as one of its own keeps his late father's dream alive.
B.J. Finney became known to Steelers fans about a week before he actually arrived in Pittsburgh.
His signing announcement to 100 or so family and friends at a draft-weekend barn party was recorded for YouTube, where nearly half a million people took notice.
"I stand in front of you today as proof that dreams do come true," the young center from Kansas State announced while fighting back tears of joy. And then he let it rip: "I am under contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers!"
The room erupted because his friends knew that Finney was a diehard fan of the team, just as his father had been.
"My dad fell in love with the '70s dynasty, and ever since I was born it was black and gold on Sundays," Finney said last month from his seat in the Steelers' locker room.
