Steelers’ DeShon Elliott Sparks Controversy with Comments on Former Teams

Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott has been at the center of controversy in recent days due to his outspoken comments about his former teams. In a series of interviews and social media posts, Elliott has made headlines for his candid and sometimes harsh critiques of the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens.

Elliott, who played for the Dolphins in the 2023 season, did not hold back when discussing his time with the team. He described the Dolphins as “soft as f—” and suggested that they lacked mentally tough individuals. These comments have garnered significant attention and backlash, particularly from his former teammates and fans[4].

In addition to his comments about the Dolphins, Elliott also made waves with a controversial Instagram post that targeted the Ravens, his original NFL team. The post was deemed so inflammatory that the Steelers organization intervened, instructing Elliott to delete it to avoid further backlash. The directive came all the way from Steelers owner Art Rooney II, highlighting the seriousness with which the team viewed the situation.

Elliott’s comments come as the Steelers prepare to face the Ravens in an upcoming AFC North matchup. His remarks have added an extra layer of tension to the already intense rivalry between the two teams[1][5]).
