Pittsburgh Steelers safety Trenton Thompson made his first NFL start last Sunday in Pittsburgh’s 13-10 loss against the Cleveland Browns. It was just his third career game and Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was impressed with what he saw from the 25-year-old Thompsom.
“It’s about the young guys’ preparation and being ready for his moment. Some guys, they’re not ready for their moment, and it comes and they go in there and lay an egg. He was ready for his moment, we thought he performed well, he did a lot of really good things, and now the big thing is, can he continue to build on that and continue to accelerate his development,” Austin said via Chris Adamski of TribLive.
