The 2023 season was a rather disappointing one for Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal. Entering his second season in the NFL, Leal had high expectations to step up and become a key piece on an aging defensive line.
Instead, he reportedly showed up to training camp out of shape last summer, and ultimately was a healthy scratch in five of the final six games of the season, leading to some stinging comments from head coach Mike Tomlin after the season, stating he had a lot of work to do to become a part of the rotation.
