The journey of former Falcons linebacker Mykal Walker continues to be an interesting one. After starting 12 games in 2022 and 20 total for the team over his first three years in the league, the former fourth-round pick was released by Atlanta during training camp.
Walker initially got claimed off waivers by the Chicago Bears but was released at the 53-man roster deadline. After a short stint with the Las Vegas Raiders, Walker finally caught on with the Steelers.
During Pittsburgh’s loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday night, the 26-year-old came down with his fourth career interception. Watch below, as shared by the Steelers’ Twitter account.
