The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to bolster their defensive line, signing Esezi Otomewo to a one-year contract. The former fifth-round pick from the 2022 NFL Draft, originally selected by the Minnesota Vikings, brings size and potential depth to the position at 6'5". After spending time with the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice squad, Otomewo is looking to utilize his preseason performance, where he recorded three sacks, to secure a spot on the Steelers' roster.

Joining veterans like Daniel Ekuale and Isaiahh Loudermilk, Otomewo is expected to compete for a backup role, positioning himself behind starters Keeanu Benton and Cameron Heyward. With the Steelers possibly looking to draft another defensive lineman next year, this could be a pivotal moment in Otomewo's NFL career.
