SALT LAKE CITY — Stevenson Sylvester was part of the Utes 2008 undefeated team than won the Sugar Bowl against Alabama.

In 2009, he was drafted by the Steelers and spent four seasons in Pittsburgh. He then signed with the Buffalo Bills over this past summer, but a knee injury in August ended his season.

Sylvester came back to Utah for rehab, and he's not only getting himself back into playing shape, he's getting out in the streets of Salt Lake City to help those in need.

Sylvester is part of the Burrito Project SLC, where volunteers ride the streets of Downtown Salt Lake City on bicycles handing out burritos that they've made to the homeless and hungry.
