The Pittsburgh Steelers reunited with another former player this week, bringing back CB James Pierre. Originally signed by Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent in 2020, Pierre spent four seasons with the Steelers through the 2023 season.
Last year was a rather painful showing for him defensively, particularly struggling in coverage on a minimal 26 snaps, including a touchdown allowed. There were some bright moments previously, but overall being below-the-line on that side of the ball was likely a reason the team was comfortable moving on.
Where Pierre has excelled, and likely provide his value, is on special teams.
