It’s clear that Pittsburgh Steelers rookie linebacker Matthew Thomas will make the team’s 53-man roster this year as the undrafted free agent out of Florida State capped off a nice preseason Thursday night with solid effort in the team’s 39-24 win over the Carolina Panthers.
Thomas not only led the Steelers defense in tackles Thursday night with 11, he also registered a strip sack and returned that loose football 75 yards to the Panthers one-yard line. After the game was over, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about the training camp and preseason that Thomas put together this summer.
