The Pittsburgh Steelers made not one, but two moves to bolster their secondary over the first few days of free agency and the legal tampering period. Darius Slay was the bigger splash, but Brandin Echols brings youth and an upward-pointing arrow on his career. Joey Porter Jr. and Slay are the two most likely Week 1 starters, but don’t tell that to Echols.
“I’m gonna come in [and] obviously try to compete for a starting spot. That’s where I see myself as. That’s where I’ve always seen myself as since I came into the league,” Echols said in his introductory press conference via the Steelers’ YouTube.
