The 2023 season was a rough one from start to finish for Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal.
Viewed as a key piece coming into the season from a depth perspective along an aging defensive line, Leal got off to a slow start, never found his footing in Year Two and was ultimately a healthy scratch late in the season, riding the bench as the Steelers made a push for the playoffs.
Now, it appears that Leal showed up to training camp out of shape, at least according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo.
In a chat with readers Tuesday morning, Fittipaldo stated that Leal showed up out of shape to training camp, which had the team rather frustrated.
