Could Tuitt Walk In Hallowed Territory?
Steelers' young pass-rusher talks about double-digit sacks, blossoming D and Manti Te'o.
Pittsburgh -- Manti Te'o is finally hitting his stride.
The inside linebacker for the San Diego Chargers made a career-high 16 tackles last Sunday against the Cleveland Browns to give him a team-high 38 for the season.
That number's closing fast on the 61 tackles he made during each of his first two seasons in San Diego.
Te'o, of course, is the highly decorated linebacker from Notre Dame who won just about every award except for the Heisman, in which he was runner-up in 2012.
"He has a nose for the ball," said Stephon Tuitt, his former teammate at Notre Dame. "He's always around the ball."
