If there’s anything more tailor-made for fan consumption than an underdog story, it’s an underdog comeback story. Perhaps second-year outside linebacker Jamir Jones has an opportunity to write one now that he is back with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
A 2020 college free agent out of Notre Dame, Jones was initially signed by the Houston Texans, but waived on June 28. The Steelers initially signed him on April 7, 2021 after seeing him work out as an alumnus at Notre Dame’s Pro Day. He impressed throughout the offseason and made the 53-man roster, playing in the first couple of games before getting waived in favor of Derrek Tuszka.
