After a successful second half of 2022 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, safety Damontae Kazee is trying to make 2023 a 17-game affair. CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso believes Kazee can do it and included him on a short list of “out of nowhere” breakout players for this upcoming season, highlighting what he can bring the Steelers’ secondary:
“The Steelers added exactly zero safeties in free agency or the draft, signalling their confidence in Kazee as Fitzpatrick’s running mate at safety. Expect more splash plays from the now 30-year-old in Pittsburgh’s defense this season. When given a full-time opportunity in the NFL, he’s been a steady producer and remains one of the most underrated safeties in football.
