Since Stephon Tuitt’s injury, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has been consistently averaging about two thirds of the team’s snaps per game. In the six games since, he has put up 31 tackles, five for a loss, with two sacks, a forced fumble, and two quarterback hits.
Playing in a contract year, Hargrave understands how big the opportunity is, heading into free agency in 2020. But that’s not his focus right now. For the time being, he’s just focusing on the opportunity to play, because it’s what he loves to do.
