"When Omar Jacobs went to Pittsburgh in the fifth round, you heard a lot of screams in our house," said Bruce's 17-year-old brother, Gino, a promising tackle already committed to West Virginia for next year. "We were very upset."

In choosing Jacobs from Bowling Green, the hometown Steelers struck a nerve in the Gradkowski house, which had been filled with black and gold paraphernalia.[/b]

I doubt they are screaming now. That was the best thing that ever happened to Bruce. He got drafted by a team with 3 QB's on the roster how are all now injured and likely done for the year!

They grew up in Pennsylvania, Steelers Fans. TB was the best thing for Bruce.
