DeMarvin Leal understands better than anybody just how important this upcoming season is for him. The third-year defensive lineman likely has no guaranteed roster spot reserved on this Pittsburgh Steelers team. A former third-round draft pick, he understands he has not lived up to his potential. But dismiss him at your own risk, seems to be his mindset going into 2024.
“Keep counting me out”, he recently posted on social media. And to be clear, Leal is not an active social media user. The last time he shared anything other than a retweet was in April to congratulate a former high school teammate for signing as a college free agent.
