The Pittsburgh Steelers currently seem to be poised to have four safeties on their 53-man roster for Week 1 of the regular season with rookie Tre Norwood expected to be one of them. In fact, it certainly seems right now that it’s likely that Norwood has a good shot at being the Steelers backup free safety behind starter Minkah Fitzpatrick as well, and especially judging by what defensive backs coach Teryl Austin said on Tuesday during his media session.
On Tuesday, Austin was asked to comment on Norwood and specifically on what he has seen so far out of the seventh-round draft pick and if he has a chance to be the team’s backup safety as a rookie.
