He also showed out on defense, pursuing to the ball and getting pressure on the quarterback. <strong>RB [player_tooltip player_id="103439" first="Kofi" last="MbRoh"] c/o 23.</strong> Mbroh was a huge asset to the Pirates on kick returns. He is fast and very elusive on run plays. Although things didn’t go in the teams’ favor, Mbroh still showed out and contributed to his offense.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> &nbsp;
