2022 Season Breakdown:
Hindsight being 20/20, the Steelers’ 2021 contract for defensive lineman Tyson Alualu wasn’t their best. But you can’t predict the future, and everyone was seemingly on the same page about it being the right decision at the time.
Nobody knew he would break his ankle in the second game of that contract, miss the rest of that season, and then never be the same player again.
