Throughout the first two seasons of his career in the NFL, Tanner Muse has been quite the special teams standout, recording 425 special teams snaps in two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.
Now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Muse — a former college safety turned NFL linebacker — knows where his bread is buttered. However, the Clemson product knows that with the situation in Pittsburgh his number could be called on defensively as well, which is something he’s aiming to be ready for entering the 2023 season.
Speaking with the Tribune-Review‘s Chris Adamski following an Organized Team Activities practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side in early June, Muse said that while he knows special teams is how he makes the roster, he’s going to do everything he can to be ready when the time comes for him to have a role defensively.
