DeMarvin Leal Starting To Get His ‘Professional Footing’ And Has Matured, Karl Dunbar Says

Entering Year 3 in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal finds himself under quite a bit of pressure as he’s seemingly entering a make-or-break situation with the Black and Gold.

After a disappointing season that reportedly saw him show up to training camp overweight and then never quite putting it all together in Year 2, the Steelers made some additions along the defensive line with rookie sixth-round pick Logan Lee and veteran free agent Dean Lowry, putting Leal behind the 8-ball a bit.

For defensive line coach Karl Dunbar though, there is still a belief in Leal.
