Rookie seventh-round defensive back Tre Norwood has been a topic of conversation for the Pittsburgh Steelers in recent days, which isn’t normally what you would expect for somebody who only played 15 snaps in the team’s last game.
But he made those snaps count, producing three third-down stops in the process, so everybody on the team is being asked about him—and he already went up in front of the media yesterday. Defensive coordinator Keith Butler spoke to reporters earlier today after practice, and was asked about the new additions to the defense’s nickel and dime defenses.
“21 has really come a long way”, he said of Norwood via transcript, referencing the Oklahoma product by his jersey number.
