Keanu Neal’s Return Gives Steelers Chance To Continue Triple Threat At Safety

During the 2022 season, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin talked about the desire for the Steelers to have a quality three-safety look with Minkah Fitzpatrick, Terrell Edmunds, and Damontae Kazee all on the field at once. It was intended to, among other things, combat two tight ends on the field at the same time.

Unfortunately, due to Kazee only being able to play in nine games because of injuries, Pittsburgh was unable to utilize the package as much as desired. Despite Edmunds leaving in free agency in the offseason, the plan for the three-safety package did not go away.
