Though Teryl Austin’s role was already spoken to by Mike Tomlin earlier in the offseason, he confirmed what his job description will be in 2019. In an interview with Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews, Austin was described what he was brought in for.
“I think it’s pretty much what Mike said,” Austin told Matthews. “I’m going to be working with the defensive backs, which is the main reason why I was brought here. And then on gameday, I’ll be helping in terms of watching replays, different aspects of it, trying to relay down to Mike whether we have an opportunity to challenge or not challenge.
