The Pittsburgh Steelers have used a return designation slot for a rookie defender for the second year in a row in 2018, earlier placing college free agent outside linebacker Olasunkanmi Adeniyi on injured reserve. Nobody was more surprised about that move than he was himself. And he wasn’t happy about it either.
“At first I thought it was a bad thing”, he said, but as Cameron Sutton learned a year ago, he now understands that he can use this period while on the injured reserve list to strengthen himself in the game from the mental point of view, including gaining a better grasp of the playbook.
