Don’t ask DeShon Elliott about the journeyman label if you’re not ready for a candid answer, because that’s what you’ll get. Going into his second season with the Steelers, he is grateful to finally have stability after experiencing many trials. Signed as a free agent in March 2024 on a two-year deal, he just signed a two-year extension.
“Honestly, it’s a blessing to be here”, Elliott said, via the Steelers’ website. “I’ve been through a lot of injuries, been a journeyman in this league. God’s blessed me to be able to play here. I appreciate Mike [Tomlin].
