While the NFL offseason train rolls along, and the NFL Draft just a few short weeks away, there exists one hole on the Steelers’ roster that has yet to be filled and that’s the starting strong safety spot, vacated by homegrown free agent Terrell Edmunds. While everyone was making news waves about GM Kevin Colbert’s comments regarding their preferences to give out second contracts to players fresh off their first deal, free agent safety Tyrann Mathieu was on-record stating he’s received phone calls from coach Mike Tomlin.
Usually, where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and it’s hard not to get excited at the thought of the “Honey Badger” forming a tandem on the back end, the likes of which the Steel City hasn’t seen since Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu and Ryan Clark.
