Defensive Identity, Respect For Mike Tomlin Led Kwon Alexander To Steelers

When you think of the Pittsburgh Steelers in today’s day and age, you think of two things: a defensive team identity and head coach Mike Tomlin.

Those two things were major reasons why veteran free agent linebacker Kwon Alexander ultimately signed with the Steelers Saturday evening, providing Pittsburgh with a significant boost at the inside linebacker room entering the heart of training camp.

Speaking with reporters following his first practice with the Steelers Sunday at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Alexander made it pretty clear as to why he ultimately signed with the Steelers, according to video via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
