Steelers Boost Defensive Line with Signing of DL Armon Watts

DL Armon Watts has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a possible one-year, $1.08M vet benefit deal. Watts brings athleticism and pass rush to the Steelers' defensive line, with the ability to play multiple positions. While he needs to work on his pad level and forward lean, Watts presents an upgrade over Breiden Fehoko and gives Pittsburgh a more athletic option in the middle of the defensive line. The addition of Watts lessens the need for Pittsburgh to select a nose tackle-type in the upcoming draft.
