Pittsburgh Steelers S DeShon Elliott is the latest example of a “Steelers player” who joined via veteran free agency. Though he spent many years elsewhere before arriving in Pittsburgh, it feels like he’s always been here. Or, at the least, he was always meant to be here, and it just took a while.
Although many like to chide Mike Tomlin and the Steelers for this reputation of being a coach and team that players want to play for, we do see truth in it. Elliott said he wants to spend the rest of his career here.
