PITTSBURGH — Defensive back Desmond King is eager to hit the reset button on his career. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed the veteran corner to a one-year deal shortly after he was released by the Houston Texans. King goes from a team in the midst of a rebuild to one that expects to compete for a playoff berth in 2023. King says he believes his physical style of play makes him a natural fit in Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old believes he can get up to speed in time to be on the field when the Steelers host San Francisco in the season opener.
