Entering a pivotal fourth year in the NFL, former third-round pick DeMarvin Leal found himself playing all over the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive front, standing up at outside linebacker and having a hand in the dirt as a true defensive lineman.
He added weight this offseason and appeared to be in good shape. At times, he made plays in training camp. He flashed in the preseason, too.
But it seems like it might not be enough for Leal to grab a spot on the Steelers’ 53-man roster. For the Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko, Leal appears to be the odd man out in the outside linebacker room for the Steelers.
