Doug Legursky, a second-year undrafted back-up center for the Pittsburgh Steelers is the focus of Super Bowl media coverage for the past two weeks. Legursky might be pressed into the starting role in the Super Bowl if the Steelers' regular center Maurkice Pouncey is unable to play due to a high ankle injury.
Quotes from Legursky:
Asked by a group of reporters if he was nervous about possibly starting in the Super Bowl, Legursky said: "I'm more nervous talking out here to you guys ..." He added: "I come to the stadium prepared to start every game, even when I don't. It's about being a student of the game. I think it's just preparation and hard work ... it's about being in sync with Ben (Roethlisberger) ... I am always working in the lab and if that opportunity comes, I'm ready."
TALK ABOUT A GUY WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW TO MENTALLY PREPARE. HE IS ALWAYS READY. EACH GAME -- THE ENTIRE SEASON -- WAS LIKE THE SUPER BOWL FOR HIM. IF POUNCEY CAN'T GO ON SUNDAY, LEGURSKY WILL BE READY -- THE SUPER BOWL IS JUST ANOTHER GAME FOR HIM!!!!
