In recent years, the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t been shy about grabbing defensive backs with AFC North experience. This offseason, they signed Juan Thornhill after two years with the Cleveland Browns. DeShon Elliott is another example, as he spent three years with the Baltimore Ravens. And their most recent acquisition, Chuck Clark, is familiar with Elliott specifically, as the two were teammates together in Baltimore.
Speaking to the media after Sunday’s training camp practice, Clark mentioned that he asked Elliott to put a good word in for him in Pittsburgh.
“He [Elliott] just told me it’s a lot of history, a lot of football culture here,” Clark said.
