Tyson Alualu is thrilled to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, reviving his career and arguably playing better than ever before. But him wearing black and gold almost didn’t happen. Alualu spoke to the local media Thursday morning and explained after hitting free agency in 2017, he wasn’t interested in signing with Pittsburgh.
“Initially I was a free agent in 2017,” he said. “I didn’t think they showed that much interest. I think my agent, who I thank now, told me to come and take this trip. Because when I came out, I was trying to look for a one year deal and the Steelers were trying to do at least two.
