Steelers' New Safety DeShon Elliott to Help Minkah Fitzpatrick Get Back to Being X-Factor Defender?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers added a new safety in DeShon Elliott as a free agent. He's not a turnover merchant, but he could be the role playing safety that helps Minkah Fitzpatrick get back to being an X-factor player for the Steelers' defense. Chris explains what Elliott's role could be, based off his time with the Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens. Could he fill Terrell Edmunds role? On top of that, Chris takes a look at the new construction of the Steelers' defense, including new cornerback Donte Jackson acquired via trade and the current stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Joey Porter Jr. and Fitzpatrick.
