The starting fullback for the Pittsburgh Steelers is relatively unknown, as is his agent, which makes the success for both individuals a compelling story. Steelers FB Will Johnson won the starting role when David Johnson (they are not related) went down with a season-ending injury. Will Johnson was the only fullback left on the Steelers roster and became the de facto starter.

His agent is Joe Tyler, a San Diego, California-based Agent Advisor with Sports Management WorldWide (SMWW). Tyler represents over 15 athletes, most of them being basketball players performing overseas. He has been with SMWW, (the company run by Dr. Lynn Lashbrook) since August 2009.

September 28, 2012
I think we all realize that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is better with James Harrison on the field than off. You could certainly argue even at 75% Harrison would be a better option than either Chris Carter or Jason Worilds. The problem really doesn’t revolve around that though because what it deals with is simply getting Harrison on the field period.

After the debacle that was the Steelers loss to the Raiders on Sunday at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, there is plenty of blame to go around across the entire team. As Mike Tomlin would say, you win as a team and you lose as a team. No one person causes a loss any more than one person can win a game.
For the Steelers defense though, there are many questions as they head into their...
