For the first time since he was acquired by the Pittsburgh Steelers in a deadline trade with the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, veteran edge rusher Preston Smith made public comments on Wednesday.
Smith was traded to the Steelers just hours before the deadline, with Pittsburgh sending the Packers a 2025 seventh-round pick. That was one of two trades the Steelers pulled off on Tuesday, with the other being for New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams.
Smith said he is particularly excited to join the Steelers because he'll be going from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense, which he prefers.
