While it doesn’t sound like the Pittsburgh Steelers will get defensive tackle Javon Hargrave signed to a contract extension prior to the start of the team’s 2019 regular season opener against the New England, it doesn’t mean that they don’t like how he has developed since drafting him in the third-round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of South Carolina State.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made it very clear during his Tuesday press conference that Hargrave performed well this year during training camp and the preseason and that the defensive tackle will continue to see more snaps in the team’s sub package defenses in 2019 due to how he’s increased his position flexibility.
