Even before they traded Minkah Fitzpatrick, the Pittsburgh Steelers worked to fill out their safety position, signing Juan Thornhill. With Fitzpatrick now gone, Thornhill could end up with a much bigger role than he might have initially expected. The former Cleveland Brown had his first training camp practice in Pittsburgh on Thursday. Speaking to Mike Prisuta after practice, he made a lighthearted comment about his move to Pittsburgh.
“It’s great,” Thornhill said. “I’m on the better side, that’s all that matters, I’m on the better side now, you know, to the dark side. I’m excited about this opportunity, it’s gonna be a lot of fun.
