For the past few weeks Steelers’ rookies have walked the same path Ike Taylor did for 12 seasons. They put on their practice jersey, grabbed their helmet, and took the walk from the locker room in the Carey Center to the lush green grounds of Chuck Noll Field at Saint Vincent College.

For Taylor, the walk meant something, because he knew every time he grabbed that helmet, every time he put on his practice or game jersey, he was representing the organization he loves so much.

“It meant everything to play for the Steelers,” said Taylor. “It’s close to watching my son being born. It’s close to my wife smiling in the morning. I’ve never known what it means to be something else. I know guys come from other teams and say, I see why you all win, why you are a brotherhood. I saw that from day one. There is nothing like playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.”

Taylor spoke to the rookies during the offseason about what it meant to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and how much it meant to him. He wanted to share his message because he wanted them to understand how lucky they are.

He hopes they got the message.............

Ike Taylor in his prime was a top notch CB minus the dropped INT's. Certainly miss having him back there.
