The Pittsburgh Steelers have greatly improved their team from the 2022 season. Pittsburgh has added multiple players on both offense and defense that will help them get back to the playoffs. Omar Khan has bolstered the Steelers' roster and brought in a future starter like 2023 first-round pick, Broderick Jones and added great depth pieces such as free agent addition Nate Herbig. Pittsburgh was back at it on Tuesday, adding some extra depth on defensive line.
Pittsburgh claimed defensive tackle, Manny Jones on Tuesday. Jones was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. He was up and down between Arizona's practice squad and active roster in his rookie year, only appearing in four total games. Jones has six career tackles in his limited time playing in the NFL.
Jones played five seasons at Colorado State from 2017-2021. Starting as a linebacker in 2017, Jones later moved to defensive end in 2018-19 and finished his college career playing defensive tackle in his final two years. He collected 181 total tackles in 50 games during his college career.
Jones had his best season in 2019, racking up 54 total tackles, eight tackles for loss and five sacks in 12 games. He is good at rushing the passer and defending the run. While he didn't play much in his rookie year, he had a few plays where one can see his upside.
