The Pittsburgh Steelers made a signing in order to bolster their roster as they enter the road to the playoffs.
With two regular season games to go and a decent shot at a tough wild card game, the team has added cornerback Tre Flowers to the roster in order to boost a thin secondary room. With injuries and releases plaguing the cornerback room, the Steelers added Flowers to the roster ahead of their matchup against the Browns.
Flowers spoke with the media, addressing how he believes he fits into helping the team down the stretch.
Flowers Answers To The Media Scrum
First, Flowers was asked about how it felt joining a team with playoff hopes and how he could make an impact there.
“Best situation being, like I said, I want to help a team win, help a team get to the Super Bowl again, and that’s my goal.” Flowers said.
He then addressed what it is like joining a team that is veteran heavy. Flowers is 30 years old and joins a team full of many older players.
“Definitely. You know, just, like I say, getting to talk football, being around football, I’ll always be like this the rest of my life, so just cherishing the moments.” Flowers said.
As being a mid-season addition is always a tough place to be in, Flowers was asked about joining with two games remaining plus any possible playoff games, and was questioned on his game-readiness.
“I always pride myself on just trying to stay, so I always try to start fresh, and that’s exactly how I attack it here. This defense is a little different than all the other places I’ve been, so I guess this would be a little bit more of a challenge. I’m ready for it.”
