People talk a lot about the “it” factor. That special something that can’t be defined…an aura of success combined with a winning personality. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a guy with the “it” factor. Never cocky, but always confident and charismatic, Mike Wallace is ready for prime time. He builds in excitement as he speaks and seems to enjoy the spot that will eventually be bestowed upon him as the playmaker in the Steelers’ passing game. If his predictions are right, the label of The Man should be coming very soon.
The pressure to produce will double for the second year wide out with last year’s leading receiver Santonio Holmes dealt to the New York Jets and franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suspended for the first four games of the 2010 season. The offense won’t have to look far to find their next playmaker. At least that’s the plan.
