Steelers' Alualu facing former team Sunday
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars are seeing former teammates nearly every week, so many down the stretch that it could be considered a Revenge Tour.
Next up: Pittsburgh defensive end Tyson Alualu, a first-round draft pick in 2010 who returns to Jacksonville on Sunday.
Alualu spent seven years with the Jaguars (1-8) after then-general manager Gene Smith surprisingly chose him with the 10th overall pick. Alualu’s productivity never matched his draft position. His durability was another story.
He’s been equally stout for the unbeaten Steelers (9-0).
“Man, I can’t say enough about Tyson. His play is really consistent and very productive,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said.
