Can DeShon Elliott be the Steelers’ next Ryan Clark?
This isn’t the first time that I’ve compared DeShon Elliott to Ryan Clark, and hopefully it won’t be the last. Clark was a somewhat unheralded free agent signing back in 2006 who became a steadying presence on a dynastic defense. I’m not saying Elliott’s presence will lead to Super Bowls, but he can serve a similar role.
Of course, it would help if Minkah Fitzpatrick got back to playing closer to something like Troy Polamalu, too. Clark was the guy who helped enable Polamalu to do what he did.
