Pittsburgh Area Native Tabbed As ‘Perfect’ Free Agent Match For Steelers By ESPN

With a potential need at safety next to All-Pro Minkah Fitzpatrick, depending on what happens in free agency with veteran safety Terrell Edmunds, could the Pittsburgh Steelers could satisfy that perceived need with a local product?

According to ESPN and Pro Football Focus’s Ben Linsey in a piece identifying a “perfect” match in free agency between a player and a team, the Steelers could do just that with Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ safety Jordan Whitehead.

Whitehead, a Pittsburgh-area native from Monaca who helped write one of the most prolific chapters in Central Valley High School history, is set to hit the free agent market next Wednesday after four seasons with the Buccaneers, a span in which he won a Super Bowl title, appeared in 59 career games with 55 career stats.
