The Steelers have a new defensive back, and in case you don’t know much about Will Allen, here’s some info from his wikipedia page:
Will Allen played in every game in his rookie year on special teams but saw increasing time as a safety in the final weeks of the season. He made his first NFL interception against the Carolina Panthers and his first touchdown in week 6 of the following season against the Miami Dolphins. He started eight games in 2005, playing at both free safety and strong safety due to injuries to Jermaine Phillips and Dexter Jackson.
Allen’s most noted contribution in his young NFL career occurred against the Green Bay Packers in 2005, when he twice intercepted Packers quarterback Brett Favre in the fourth quarter. Buccaneers starting safety, Dexter Jackson, had been injured midway through the second quarter with a hamstring strain. Allen came into the game as a substitute.
Allen was the Buccaneers’ special teams captain in 2008.
Allen was the first alternate for NFC Special Teams for the 2009 Pro Bowl.
Allen was resigned to a 1 year $2.35 million dollar contract on February 28, 2009
On March 8, 2010, Allen signed a 3 year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
