Do the Steelers view Juan Thornhill as a starter following the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade?
Steelers HC Mike Tomlin invoked the name of Juan Thornhill earlier this year when questioned about the team’s safety depth. The question implied that they lacked depth—but now they have even less, at least in theory. The equation changes entirely if the Steelers move Jalen Ramsey to a full-time safety position.
Otherwise, the Steelers either need to mix and match, bring someone else in, or trust in Juan Thornhill. While he has plenty of starting experience in the NFL, he hasn’t had the best of times lately.
