Steelers Add Smart Safety Fitzgerald | Pittsburgh Steelers News

The Steelers bolster their safety depth by signing rookie Bishop Fitzgerald off the practice squad, a smart move after passing on Juanyeh Thomas. Though not drafted, Fitzgerald dazzled at USC with 51 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and 5 interceptions — earning All-American honors. His journey included stops at NC State and a JUCO in Kansas, plus a preseason stint with Tennessee where he logged 8 tackles. Scouts praised his football IQ and play-reading ability, though questioned his speed and were wary of his knee injury. With veteran DeShon Elliott sidelined, Fitzgerald’s agility, ball-hawking instincts, and quick closing speed make him a valuable addition to Pittsburgh’s secondary.
