Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin often talks about how difficult it is for a player, regardless of age, to jump on the moving train that is an NFL season with a team.
Now, ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the New Orleans Saints the Steelers could see two veteran defensive backs attempt to jump on that moving train that is the Steelers defense. That would be veteran safety Damontae Kazee, who has been with the Steelers since OTAs, and veteran cornerback William Jackson III, who was acquired via trade last week from the Washington Commanders.
Despite being veterans and being around the block a time or two in the NFL, it will be difficult to jump on that moving train and be up to speed and ready to contribute right away defensively.
