Breiden Fehoko Was ‘Considering Retiring’ Before Steelers Called: ‘Only Reason I Got Up Off The Couch’

Veteran DT Breiden Fehoko might be retired right now if the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t come calling. Speaking to reporters over the weekend about signing, he said he fielded calls from other teams. Until the 412 popped up on his phone, though, he was content to just live his life and appreciate fatherhood.

“I’ll never be shy about it. This place has treated me well. They welcomed me with open arms every time I’ve signed back,” Fehoko said via the Steelers’ YouTube channel. Despite never having played a snap for the Steelers, he has spent parts of the past three seasons here.
