Prior to him suffering a torn pectoral muscle in the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 6 road game against the Los Angeles Chargers, defensive end Stephon Tuitt probably could have been described as the team’s co-defensive most valuable player up until then. After all, Tuitt, the Steelers 2014 second-round draft pick out of Notre Dame, had 3.5 sacks, 22 total tackles and six total quarterback hits through five games played and looked to be on pace to have another great game against the Chargers. Tuitt’s 2019 season ended abruptly early in that game against the Chargers and he’s since had surgery and gone through a lengthy rehab to be ready for the 2020 season.
