LATROBE, Pa. -- I'm pretty sure Alejandro Villanueva just won the day here at Saint Vincent College.
No setup needed — just going to drop the video and let it breathe for a bit:
Right? How unfair is this guy?
He's a 6-foot-9 starting left tackle in the NFL on one of the league's top offensive lines. He was a long shot to ever even make a final 53-man roster, let alone to ascend to the Pro Bowl level he currently occupies.
He earned a Bronze Star as an Army Ranger, where he served three tours of duty in Afghanistan and now he's dropping knowledge and an intimate understanding of his current home of Pittsburgh.
"It is cool to sort of drive around when you're in the buses and you load up and you get to the stadium, and you see the houses and you see how much they [fans] love the Steelers," Villanueva was saying. "To me personally, it goes back to Pittsburgh, to how, sort of, it became the city that it was."
And while Villanueva admits he's "focused on practice," it's clear he's taken the time to truly understand his new home and to appreciate the strides it's making as a city.
"We practice in South Side; we know what Carson Street used to look like back in the day," Villanueva said. "Pittsburgh's reinvented itself — investing in technology, education — and some of these cities that are in the perimeter of Pittsburgh are sort of being a little forgotten. You can talk about the opiate epidemic and sort of some of the issues that are facing them.
"It's good that at least as a Pittsburgh Steeler I can make their day a little bit better by going out, Friday Night Lights, practicing, signing some autographs and saying hi to the community."
