On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed former New York Jets CB Brandin Echols. Echols has plenty of playing experience on both defense and special teams, appearing in 57 career games. In 2024, he played over 400 defensive snaps and 185 special teams snaps, so he will be a contributor in multiple phases.
Steelers Depot’s own Josh Carney did a film study to help us understand how Echols will fit the Steelers on the field. But this isn’t exactly about Echols’ NFL career. This is about figuring out who Echols is and his journey to this point.
