Teryl Austin Credits Jalen Ramsey’s Move To Safety For Making Steelers’ Defense Less ‘Disjointed’

Jalen Ramsey was one of several players that the Pittsburgh Steelers added to their team this offseason. The hope was that Ramsey, along with Darius Slay and Joey Porter Jr., would give the Steelers an elite trio at corner. However, that didn’t happen. Ramsey plays safety now. Teryl Austin thinks that move has helped stabilize the Steelers’ defense, though.

“I think he’s made an impact for us because he’s steadied us in terms of the safety position, being able to be there and communication and getting all that stuff together,” Austin said Thursday via transcripts provided by the team.
