Rookie CB Darius Rush has only been a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers for a little over three weeks. He already has a role within the defense, albeit one that may be contingent on injury. The former Indianapolis Colts fifth-round draft pick made his NFL debut last Thursday for Pittsburgh in their win over the Tennessee Titans, earning some praise from his defensive coordinator this week.
“I thought Darius has done a good job since he’s been here, and we threw him into a situation where he had to do a lot of things for us, and he did, and we’re just hoping that he continues to grow and get better”, Teryl Austin told reporters on Thursday, via transcript provide by the team’s media department.
