Marshall in the NFL

Doug Legursky, C, Pittsburgh Steelers

After a year on the practice squad Legursky made the Steelers 53 man roster. He will be the first guard or center off the bench in Pittsburgh. Steelers guard Max Starks had this to say about Legursky “We have to at least rely on one good thing -- having Doug Legursky as a backup, starting two games with us, kind of gives us a comfort level," said Starks, who started the final 14 games (including postseason) at left tackle because of an injury to Marvel Smith and begins his sixth NFL season as the team's highest-paid offensive lineman. "He knows what he's doing. If he had to come in, he'd still be an asset for us. You always like to have all experienced guys together, but that's the nature of this business. Injuries happen to all of us." http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09246/995239-66.stm
