Nik Embernate says his knee is feeling good and he's 'going to come back strong'
The Steelers lost their most popular undrafted free agent in training camp of 2013, but he said Saturday, after his alma mater San Diego State advanced to the Sweet 16, he's optimistic about his return.
Steelers 2013 undrafted free agent Nik Embernate became a fan favorite in training camp last season due to his physical style of play and his epic nickname "Embernasty."
A knee injury put him out for the season in camp despite reportedly playing well enough for consideration to steal a spot on the 53-man roster.
Those dreams are still alive, according to Embernate.........

I really don't remember anything about this guy. Maybe, along with guys like Sean Spence , we are in for some surprises during training camp. Gotta hope for something to click............

I remember there being some talk that this dude might take Foster's job. Supposed to be strong as an ox and play with a mean streak.

It's a pivotal year for the future of a Steelers' offensive line group that can be fairly considered both one of its youngest and its strongest position units heading into 2014.
Finally....we could have one of the better offensive lines in the league this year.
A dominating offensive line may be our only chance to win games this year.

Agreed, but I hope it comes from a player at the ILB position : )

Don't forget about Mike Golic.

He is no longer with us. Embernate is a nasty guy and could develop into a guy that could replace Foster in a few years.
