Don’t worry, if you’re asking “Who?” don’t beat yourself up too much. You’re surely not alone.
Spillane is a former undrafted free agent out of Western Kentucky. He spent his first season in Tennesee and his last four seasons in Pittsburgh, starting a combined 16 games in his five-year career.
The 27-year-old is coming off a career year with the Steelers in 2022 in which he put up 79 combined tackles (52 solo) appearing in 16 games with five starts.
