Frankie Pollard: “I remember after my second season, I just finished packing up my car and was leaving my apartment when I got a phone call from The Chief. He told me about how good he thought my second season was and said that he wanted me to go see his son before I left. Well, I thought he was going to release me. What else could it have been?
Well, I went to Mr. Rooney – and he said he appreciated my effort and that it was a good year for me. That’s the difference with the Steelers – a big difference, to show that kind of appreciation.”
