I don’t think it’ll come as a surprise but it sounds like when the Pittsburgh Steelers roll their dime package, Marcus Allen will be the 6th defensive back you see on the field. In an article that centered around Tyler Matakevich trying to keep his roster spot, the PPG’s Brian Batko snuck in this quote from Allen about his offseason work.
Allen referenced recording an interception in a 7 on 7 drill near the end of spring practices.
“Just to show coaches I can play in that post, I can go in the box and bang it out, and I can cover in the box, and play in that dime,” Allen said.
