“They brought me in to take away the deep ball.”
Steelers safety Juan Thornhill didn’t forget to pack his confidence and swagger to St. Vincent College in Latrobe for training camp. Meeting with the media as the Steelers reported to camp, Thornhill spoke out on why the Steelers brought him to Pittsburgh.
Specifically, he noted his ability to take away the big plays downfield and how offenses have chosen to stay away from him, rather than attack.
“If you watch my history, a lot of teams don’t really throw the deep ball, if I’m being honest, once I’m a part of that defense,” Thornhill said.
