DeMarvin Leal’s Versatility Impresses Teryl Austin: ‘He’s A Big, Athletic Guy’

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin praised rookie DeMarvin Leal and said his versatility will allow the Steelers to move him around the field. Austin was asked if Leal will continue to play on the edge, a spot where he saw some time with T.J. Watt out with a pec injury.

“Well, I can’t tell you. I can’t tell you all those things, but I will say that he is a good enough athlete to move out there. He gave us some good things, like a really nice play on the screen that he almost intercepted. He’s a big, athletic guy.
