Starting with their season opener Monday night against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, their helmets will bear the name of Antwon Rose Jr. on the white plastic bar at the back of each player’s helmet. Two firearms were found in the vehicle, but Rose was unarmed when he was shot. Officer Michael Rosfeld was charged with murder and found not guilty the following March. ADADMichelle Kenney, Rose’s mother, said she was overwhelmed with emotion when she got news of the Steelers’ decision last week from Coach Mike Tomlin. “To get a call, with Mike Tomlin on the phone, to tell me he has two sons and he worries, too,” Kenney told Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley.
