Pittsburgh Steelers Sign Former Ohio State Defensive End John Simon

A Buckeye is headed to the Steel City.

Former Ohio State defensive end John Simon has signed a reserve/future contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team announced on Thursday.

Simon began the 2021 season with the Tennessee Titans, seeing action in just two games: a week five win over Jacksonville and a week 12 loss to New England. In each appearance, he totaled three tackles.

After he was released from Tennessee, Simon played one game with the Steelers in December in a week 16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Though he played 16 percent of the defensive snaps in the loss, he finished without a stat.
