The Pittsburgh Steelers made a pair of trades at last year’s deadline for WR Mike Williams and OLB Preston Smith. They each only ended up playing about 20 snaps per game and had a minimal impact as the Steelers floundered down the stretch of the season. Don’t expect a similarly small role for new S Kyle Dugger, however.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette insider Ray Fittipaldo thinks he could have a big role in relatively short order.
“He certainly fits that mold of run-stopping strong safety that they need with DeShon Elliott out,” Fittipaldo said Wednesday via 93.7 The Fan’s Morning Show.
