“I had to make sure if I did take it out, there was no way anybody was going to catch me, or I wouldn't have heard the end of it,” he said.
Fortunately for McCann, his blazing speed guaranteed he'd be free from teasing this week inside the Dallas Cowboys' locker room.
While Dez Cheap ncaa jerseys Bryant is clearly the Cowboys' most valuable rookie, McCann has surfaced as a runner-up candidate after returning his first career pick a franchise-record 101 yards in the 33-20 toppling of the New York Giants.
McCann also became just the second rookie in the Super Bowl era with a 100-yard interception return. Detroit's Louis Delmas had a 101-yard return on Dec. 20, 2009.
But it wasn't just McCann's big play that drew praise from interim coach Jason Garrett.
And another news will go on. Field to be resodded
Jeff Reed isn't the only one complaining about Heinz Field.
According to a report on the Network Sunday, the Steelers' past two opponents, the Raiders and Patriots, complained to the league about the Heinz Field playing surface.
"The Patriots complained about field conditions last week and Raiders coaches have already registered a complaint in the pre-game here today at Heinz Field, according to a league source,'' the network reported. "The portion of the field between the hash marks between the 30s is pocked with soft spots and areas where the sod easily comes out."
Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly complained about the surface after the game.
"The field is absolutely atrocious," Kelly said. "They have to do something about that. They got big divots like they're playing golf out there. One time my shoe came off because I stepped in a hole."
wasn't complaining about the surface, but he did explain why he stayed down on the field and had to be attended to by trainers late in the game.
"The middle wholesale jerseys nfl of that field is nothing [but] a sand pit, so when I hit the ground it all went into my eyes," he said.
The game Sunday was the last NFL (jersey) game on that particular grass. The grass will be removed and new sod laid down starting Sunday.
Heinz Field will play host to the West Virginia-Pitt game Friday and four WPIAL championship games Saturday before the re-sodding takes place.
Left guard Chris Kemoeatu and left tackle Jonathan Scott also exited the game, but each later returned. Trai Essex came off the bench to play guard and tackle at various times. He was a late scratch from the starting lineup and was replaced at right guard by Ramon Foster.
"I have to give a lot of credit to the guys who come in because they play really well," receiver Mike Wallace said.
Injuries along the offensive line have been a season-long issue for the Steelers, who already have lost tackle Max Starks for the season with a neck injury. The good news Sunday was that none of the injuries are considered serious. Pouncey reported some swelling in his knee, but said he was going to play next week against Buffalo.
