Former Penn State LB Michael Mauti: Steelers Are On My List
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan) - Former Penn State LB Michael Mauti is getting ready for the 2013 NFL Draft, and he updates his progress with Troy Clardy on Sportsradio 93.7 The Fan.
These have been busy days for Mauti.
"I've been in a different city every weekend for the last five or six weekends," he said. "It's been hectic, but you only go through this process once. I'm just trying to enjoy it. My main focus has just been rehabbing and getting my leg right after that surgery. It's been going well. I'm ahead of schedule right now. I went to the Combine and did that process, and now I'm visiting with some teams."
One of the teams Mauti will be visiting just happens to be the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"I think I would look great in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform," Mauti said with a laugh. "Why don't you call them and tell them to come get me?"
He also looks back at his career at Penn State, how he emerged as one of the team's leaders during the scandal that rocked the team, and how the Nittany Lions were able to go 8-4 despite the difficult circumstances.
"Everybody was telling us in the beginning of the season that we weren't going to win one game, three games," Mauti said. "It's not like we forgot how to play football. We still had a pretty good team sitting there. It was just an unbelievable season. We didn't have a trophy, so we just came out for the love of the game and for each other. It was really special."
