Joseph Talks Transition From First-Rounder To Practice Squad

Safety Karl Joseph and the Pittsburgh Steelers seem to be the perfect match. Joseph suited up as a part of the active squad for the first time as a Steeler last week and although he’s not expected to be a major contributor at safety, his connection with the Steelers has gone on for years now.

Joseph was selected with the 14th overall pick back in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Raiders. The Steelers were heavily linked to the West Virginia product throughout the pre-draft process and were once again when he hit free agency the past two off-seasons.
