A mere 2 plays into the 2017 season, Pittsburgh Steelers DE Stephon Tuitt’s day was done. Fresh off signing a contract extension worth $14 million guaranteed this season, the former 2nd round draft pick was looking forward to a monster season. Instead, it looked like his season might be over…if you believe Adam Schefter. A couple of twitter doctors (myself included) felt more optimistic, and I’ll explain why in a minute.
On the second play of the game, Tuitt dodged a TE with a blocking assignment to chase Browns RB Isaiah Crowell out of bounds, grabbing him with both arms but not actually tackling him.
