The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed safety Makari Paige, a move that adds depth to their defensive lineup. Paige, a former Michigan player, brings versatility and size to the position, with the ability to play single high, split safety, slot corner, and box safety. During the 2025 preseason, he showcased his run-stopping skills, making plays in the box and downhill, as well as his coverage abilities, despite some struggles in man-to-man coverage and change of direction skills. Paige's size and potential make him an intriguing addition to the team, especially as a backup to DeShon Elliott and a contributor on special teams. With the Steelers addressing their safety needs, Paige's presence could be a valuable asset as they prepare for the upcoming season.
