The Pittsburgh Steelers are parting ways with 2022 third-round DL DeMarvin Leal, per Jeremy Fowler on X. His size and athleticism gave him immense potential, but he never got close to realizing it in Pittsburgh.
Leal never quite found a true position in Pittsburgh. Coming in as a classic tweener—too big for the edge and too small to play inside—the Steelers experimented playing him at both. Most recently, he was being used as an edge defender since last season. He showed promise in last year’s camp, but suffered a season-ending neck injury and largely disappointed in camp this year.
