Just a few short days after signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent, Kwon Alexander is already leaving his mark.

With pads coming on and having a chance to showcase his skill set, Alexander is turning heads and garnering plenty of attention from head coach Mike Tomlin.

Speaking with reporters Wednesday following the second padded practice of training camp, Tomlin praised Alexander, stating that he’s showing in a hurry that he’s not new to environments like training camp, and that he’s had to tell him “whoa” a few times, compared to “sic ’em,” as Tomlin likes to say.
