The Pittsburgh Steelers made a surprising move by re-signing outside linebacker Markus Golden, and head coach Mike Tomlin has revealed the reasoning behind the decision.
“He’s just a pro,” Tomlin said of Golden. “He’s a guy who’s been in the league, he’s got experience, he’s got a great work ethic, and he’s a great teammate.”
Tomlin praised Golden’s professionalism, citing his ability to adapt to the Steelers’ system and his willingness to contribute in any way possible. “He’s a guy who’s going to show up every day, work hard, and do what’s required of him,” Tomlin added.
Golden, who was signed by the Steelers in the offseason, was released during final roster cuts but has now been brought back to provide depth and experience to the team’s linebacker corps.
Tomlin’s comments highlight the value the Steelers place on Golden’s veteran presence and work ethic, which will likely be an asset to the team as they navigate the challenges of the NFL season.
With Golden’s return, the Steelers are bolstering their pass-rushing capabilities and gaining a trusted asset in the locker room. As Tomlin emphasized, “He’s just a pro” – and that’s exactly what the Steelers need.
