It’s not often that a second-year player is the one lending a helping hand from a playbook perspective to a veteran. That’s what is happening in Pittsburgh though with second-year defensive back Tre Norwood and veteran free agent signee Levi Wallace.
Speaking with reporters Thursday prior to practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, Wallace revealed that Norwood has taken him under his wing a bit, helping him get comfortable in the defensive scheme and the complexities of the defense overall. That takes a lot to brush aside any ego as a veteran dealing with a young player, especially when asking for help, but with Wallace there is no ego.
