Recent Steelers news finds Justin Hartwig, last years starting center, with a broken toe today. Details were sketchy as to the incidents that led to the broken toe. It was said that he, "...dropped an object on it..." My only hope was that it was at least a super-human sized object that would turn a regular guy into jelly.
One thing has struck me as odd though. I saw Hartwig play last year, and noticed just how light on his toes he was when he was constantly beat out of position. My suspicion was that Hartwig was a world class ballerina who just became confused as to his actual profession while on the field. These recent events leads me to believe that Hartwig is giving up his lucrative dancing career and becoming a full time NFL center. That's great news for the Steelers.
Another positive that comes from this story will be watching the battle between Darnell Stapleton and AQ Shipley during training camp. Hopefully the Stillers will take advantage and invest more effort into developing the younger talent.
