Tyson Alualu: ‘It’s A Big Benefit’ To Play With ‘Best Tandem’ In NFL With Heyward, Tuitt

Though the Pittsburgh Steelers are not exactly top players in the outside free agency market, Tyson Alualu has to be among their more underrated signings in recent years. The former 11th-overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft is now entering his fourth season with the team, prior to which he has supplied a high level of play and served as quality depth, as both a rotational player and as a spot starter.

With the departure of nose tackle Javon Hargrave, the team is throwing something new at him at the age of 33, sticking him inside and asking him to focus his work on playing that position, something that he has not really formally done in the past.
