The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t often come out and say that they viewed a player as a first-round talent whom they drafted later on. They did that when they got Notre Dame defensive lineman Stephon Tuitt in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. And frankly, they nailed that one.
While his overall effectiveness has been weighted down by frequent nagging injuries, Tuitt has consistently proven himself to be a very gifted and talented player. Following a season in which he missed most of the year with a torn pectoral muscle, he is now having his best season in 2020.
