2020 is a big season for Pittsburgh Steelers safety Terrell Edmunds as the team’s former first-round draft pick out of Virginia Tech will have the decision made on the fifth-year option on his rookie contract late in the spring of 2021. If the decision on Edmunds needed to be made today, the Steelers likely wouldn’t pick up his fifth-year option because of his lack of splash plays made in his first two seasons.
On Tuesday, Steelers defensive backs coach Teryl Austin was indirectly asked about Edmunds’ lack of playmaking so far during his NFL career. Specifically, Austin was asked what he thinks needs to happen in 2020 to get Edmunds around the football more in hopes that he’ll start making splash plays.
