It wasn’t long ago that Robert Spillane was nearly a total unknown, an undrafted free agent sitting on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad. He’s hard to ignore now, playing 100% of the snaps the last two weeks. With a matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers are likely to again lean on Spillane and his physical brand of run defense.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday, Mike Tomlin praised not only Spillane’s role but his journey and path into the lineup.
“We just like what Rob has been doing,” Tomlin said in his presser carried out by the Steelers’ YouTube channel.
