‘Made Quite A Few Plays’: DeShon Elliott Has ‘Done A Nice Job’ Early In Steelers Tenure, Mike Tomlin Says

In his first two regular-season games as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, veteran safety DeShon Elliott has made quite an impact.

Elliott has brought a physical presence to the Steelers’ secondary and has made some key plays in the process.

The seventh-year veteran, signed to a two-year, $6 million deal this offseason in free agency, had a key interception against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. In Week 2 against Denver, Elliott had a pivotal 3rd-and-1 tackle for loss to force a punt.

– 9 tackles
