## Resource

Local Pittsburgh hero Eli Heidenreich, drafted by the Steelers right in his hometown, faces an uphill battle to make the roster after starring in Navy’s triple-option offense. ESPN projects him on the outside looking in as the team leans toward three running backs and a few wide receivers, but he’s not out of the game—likely headed to the practice squad. His transition from college’s unique system to the NFL’s demands is a tough adjustment, yet his potential remains. This story is a reminder of how hard the leap from college to pro football can be, even for hometown favorites. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
