Steelers contratam o safety Makari Paige para reforçar o elenco

O Pittsburgh Steelers contratou o ex-safety de Michigan, Makari Paige, no início desta semana. A movimentação supre uma necessidade na posição antes das OTAs voluntárias e do training camp.

Paige, que tem 1,93m de altura e pesa 94kg, passou a pré-temporada de 2025 com o New York Giants. Ele participou de 122 snaps defensivos, atuando como safety único no fundo, próximo à linha de scrimmage e no slot durante esse período. Em sua carreira universitária em Michigan, Paige registrou 135 tackles, dois tackles para perda de jardas, um sack e três interceptações em 53 jogos.
