Stephon Tuitt’s Work Ethic Paying Off

Stephon Tuitt knows he’ll be counted on in his second season as the team’s starting defensive end. And it’s a role he seems ready for.

In an interview with Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley, Tuitt attributes his progress to the effort he put into his practices.

“I practice hard. From that time on the practice field, that’s how it clicked. When you do the same plays over and over again that is when it becomes second nature. That is when it clicked for me and I can say I really started playing.”

A strong work ethic is something Tuitt has been billed to have since he was drafted out of Notre Dame.
