After spending time in the NFL with three different franchises in the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins, new Pittsburgh Steelers’ safety DeShon Elliott made it clear why he decided to join the Steelers in free agency on a two-year, $6 million deal.

The Steelers are all about championship football, and playing smash mouth, gritty football that fits exactly what Elliott is all about.

Speaking with reporters Friday during his introductory press conference at the UMPC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, Elliott said he’s excited to be a Steeler and be part of real football.
