HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHON TUITT. WHO ELSE MISSES THIS DUDE

16 comments
  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. Man, how many IDL get double-digit sacks in a season? He was special.

  5. 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 ✌🏽

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
