For many, the biggest concern with the Pittsburgh Steelers entering the 2020 season as far as the defense goes was the player whom they deemed to be their weakest link: young starting strong safety Terrell Edmunds, the team’s first-round draft pick in 2018 who started 31 games in his first two seasons.
The 23-year old is arguably off to the best start of his career so far in 2020, however, and has already set a career-high in passes defensed for an entire season, now with five through six games. He had two on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, including a big one in the end zone, though he is still looking for his first interception (or takeaway in general) since his rookie year.
