Roosevelt Nix is staying in Pittsburgh for the foreseeable future. The Steelers announced that they have signed the fullback to a four-year extension. The deal will keep the 25-year-old with the organization through 
the 2021 season.
Following four seasons as a linebacker at Kent State, Nix joined the Falcons after going undrafted during the 2014 draft. He didn’t catch on as a fullback, and he ultimately landed with the AFL’s Cleveland Gladiators. He eventually signed with the Steelers in 2015, and he’s proceeded to appear in 41 games (nine starts) since that time.
Nix earned a Pro Bowl birth this past season after playing a major role in Le’Veon Bell‘s productive campaign. Nix finished the season with zero rushing yards on three carries, and he added a pair of receptions for six yards and one touchdown. Nix also compiled 10 special teams tackles.
Best fb in nfl rn except Kyle Juszczyk but so was john kuhn and james develin at one point and both are irrelevant. Needs to stay relevant and get more pro bowl nods
Patrick DiMarco is really good too. Falcons should have never let him get away. Derrick Coleman was flipping awful this year. Reading this about Nix makes me sick.
Oh yah forgot that he went to the bills. Guess the falcons just suck and getting creating and keeping fb lol
Love it when the fullbacks get some love.
Congrats to Rosie, great football player that found a way to transition to the NFL from undersized, but totally dominant, d-lineman to FB and Special Teams contributor. Kent State keeps grooming these heart and soul kids that find a way, Josh Cribbs, Julian Edelman, James Harrison, Antonio Gates…if you have talent and heart you can make it.
