HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHON TUITT. WHO ELSE MISSES THIS DUDE
16 comments
Hell, I even missed him when he was still here.
Edit: formatting.
He was incredible. I hate that injuries ruined such a promising career
Edit- I apologize for forgetting what happened to his brother. I remembered the multiple injuries and him missing a lot of time that season. I imagine both factors led to his decision to retire.
Also, I lost a sibling to a horrific accident too and it’s disappointing reading some of the takes on here. I hope they finally found the person who took his brother’s life and the family has peace.
That quitter? Hell nah
Loved watching him play. Dude was good.
We were blessed af when we had him and Cam in his prime. Also I always remember he had a cool ass facemask at Notre Dame
He was a beast. What a pity his career was cut short.
Good riddance, quitter.
Some really bad takes on here.
I’m just glad the dude got out before he was completely fucked up from football, he had to go through so many surgeries himself and Dave DeCastro both.
Man, how many IDL get double-digit sacks in a season? He was special.
Man I hope this dude is at a good place in life and is having a great birthday. Absolute dawg on the field! Nothing but love and respect for Tuitt ✌🏽
I feel like Tuitt (along with Shazier) were a massive part of us not getting to/winning more super bowls in the back half of Ben’s career. Like two extremely talented and key pieces of our defense being wiped out for different extremely unusual reasons is not that usual for a team. Throw in the fact that pressure from the D-Line helps to mask a weak secondary – which we definitely had in some of those years. I’d argue that potentially the loss of Tuitt was potentially even more pivotal than the loss of Shazier.
I’d like to say reading through some of the very weird comments on here, that he is not a quitter – and I fully support his choice to do whatever he wants. I was purely commenting from the football/roster building side of things.
Ain’t nothin Tuitt but to do it.
Wasted salary cap for years. I don’t
Dude was a beast, but I’m not sure he was coming back with or without the family tragedy issues. Defensive linemen get torn biceps and pectorals, and it’s often a career-altering injury. More than one of those usually means your body just can’t take the abuse anymore and you are done.
I really do miss him. He played hard-nosed Steeler football.
