Isaac is truly a special player. I know we’ve rehearsed it many times and I still think people don’t realize what he brought to our dressing room. Personally, I think he was the smartest guy I ever dated. Really very gifted physically, mentally, in all areas. I think the Steelers pulled off a pretty good shot.
