Early in the offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Brandin Echols. The veteran cornerback is part of a room full of talent, including other new additions in Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay. Despite the position being so crowded, Echols managed to make a name for himself during the team’s three preseason games.
“I think he’s had a great camp and preseason,” Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said Monday after practice via Steelers.com. “He’s been highly competitive, he’s played top down, he’s kept everything in front of him. He certainly is an asset to us. We’ll get more detail in terms of how we divide the labor up as we get closer to game week.
