The Steelers had a guy playing LB this pre-season.... by the name of Christian Kuntz

[stormingnorm]

Could that be the Kuntz brother who played at PSU?

Older brother of the current TE..... I think the older brother's name was "Christian".

Could that just be an odd coincidence, or is he one-and-the-same?

Different guy. The Christian Kuntz on the Steelers is from the Pittsburgh area and played at Duquesne. The Penn State Kuntzes are from Camp Hill.

This is accurate. He went to high school at Chartiers Valley then Duquesne for college. I wondered the same thing when I first heard the name (I wasn't really watching, just had the game on in the background) so I quickly looked it up.

You're right. The Steelers' Kuntz played at Chartiers Valley High School in the South Hills of Pittsburgh.

Admit it, you were watching the Stillers and you are a Yinzer!

No, but there is the outcast Kuntz sister, Trickle Kuntz.

I am a former Yinzer. I got out just before my 8th birthday (family moved from Butler to Carlisle). Or once a Yinzer always a Yinzer? I don’t shy away from my roots. I even admit I grew up a fan of that college from Yinzerland. Eventually I came to my senses and matriculated at Penn State. I am a Stiller fan. But it was preseason so I honestly wasn’t paying much attention to the game.

Consider this:
Some woman - apparently, on purpose - married him and took his name.

And her name was Ima.
