New Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Preston Smith may have just arrived in the city but he already feels right at home. Acquired by the Steelers from the Green Bay Packers ahead of Tuesday’s deadline for a pittance, a 2025 seventh round pick, Smith spoke to reporters for the first time Wednesday.

“Just getting out here, getting back in the system I’m comfortable being in and playing at a high level, man,” Smith said via The Trib’s Chris Adamski. “I’m loving right now, day one.”

Preston Smith is happy to be a Steeler. Says a few weeks ago he requested a trade from the Packers pic.
