Verne Troyer reveals he played linebacker as a kid

Verne Troyer isn't just a fan of football, he used to play the game too.

The actor and lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan revealed to TMZ Sports that he played linebacker as a kid and shared a story about the time he made a tackle against someone much larger than he was.

"He was trying to jump over me, and at that time I just reached up, grabbed his legs, and took him down," Troyer recalled.
