Thornhill Criticizes Steelers DC | Pittsburgh Steelers News
Description
Former Steelers safety Juan Thornhill’s blunt TikTok jab at defensive coordinator Teryl Austin — “didn’t enjoy playing for that DC” — stirs up fresh drama from Pittsburgh’s rough 2026 season, when the defense ranked dead last in key categories despite big spending. Thornhill, cut after just nine games, now a free agent, isn’t holding back. Austin, already out of Pittsburgh after coaching changes, landed a new role with the Cardinals — the last of Tomlin’s old staff to find a new home. Thornhill’s candid take offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of a season that left fans and media alike frustrated.
