Dreams really do come true

Mewelde Moore remembers watching the Super Bowl as a kid and thinking how much fun it would be to celebrate on the field with your teammates after winning the game, with confetti flying and the excitement at a fever pitch.

He dreamt about it as football became a reality for him, always hoping for the opportunity.

And when he came to Pittsburgh as a free agent last offseason from the Minnesota Vikings, the running back got a feel for what could come with it right off the bat.

“I was introduced to the five Super Bowl trophies and when I saw those, it definitely sealed the deal,” said Moore.

And now, the dream has become a reality, living out his childhood dream when the Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 in Super Bowl XLIIII.

“Disney couldn’t have made it more magical,” said Moore. “What I thought and imagined it to be, I didn’t really understand how big it was going to be. Just from being a child imagining it and now being an adult, I feel like a kid all over again.

“You see it on TV and you are like ‘man that’s awesome and I can’t wait to actually be that person, be a part of it.’ Then when you are actually a part of it, it’s awesome. It’s a pausing in your life. Just the moment, it seems that even though it may be happening in real time, everything slows down. Everything is in a pause and everything is just something that you take in. You really embrace that moment and you just can’t forget that moment. “
