On Monday, OLB Alex Highsmith spoke the media and was asked about the defensive rookies that played important roles for the Steelers last night against the Ravens. Highsmith responded commending DL DeMarvin Leal for providing Pittsburgh another big body upfront but appreciated the patience ILB Mark Robinson had waiting for his moment last night and capitalizing when he got the opportunity to play.
“Oh my gosh, yeah, both of ’em came in, provided some valuable plays for us,” Highsmith said to the media Monday in the locker room on video at Steelers.com. “DeMarvin just being in there and providing an extra big body to be able to stop the run and, Mark [Robinson]’s been itching and waiting to hit all year.
