After drama! German star hopes for happy ending

Despite his knee injury, German NFL hopeful Julius Welschof believes he will be able to wear the Pittsburgh Steelers jersey this season. “I had a good chance of even making it into the 53-man squad.” […] “They definitely want me back when I’m fit,” the 27-year-old said to ran.

Welschof injured his knee in the last game of the preseason and was therefore removed from the Steelers’ squad shortly before the start of the season. Since the player and franchise have agreed to an injury settlement, Welschof could still play this season after his recovery.

This dream can come true with the Steelers, but also with any other NFL team. The German expects to be fit again by the end of October.

If the franchise from Pittsburgh actually came forward, Welschof would choose the Steelers. “The whole atmosphere, my coaches, the Steelers Nation, the defense, my position colleagues: It was all very appealing, I haven’t experienced anything negative since I was there, I felt very comfortable,” reported the football professional.

The Steelers’ preseason preparation was anything but relaxing: “Many people warned me emphatically about the Steelers.” […] The Steelers are considered one of the toughest teams in camp. And that was true in reality,” explained Welschof.

Welschof was also able to observe the duel between the two Steeler quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. According to him, “from a sporting perspective, things got pretty tough between them.” Off the field, however, the relationship between the two was surprisingly harmonious. “They even played Uno together in the evenings.” I would have thought that there would be more arguments. “But they got on really well,” said the German.
