Notre Dame power next to Cam Heyward in Pittsburgh
Tuitt paired with Cam Heyward to give Pittsburgh one of the sturdier defensive fronts of the 2010s. A second-round pick, 46th overall, out of Notre Dame in 2014, he spent his entire career with the Steelers and set a personal best of 11 sacks in 2020, twice earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors along the way. He finished with 29.5 career sacks.
His Madden line rose steadily with his role. He was a 74 in the 2014 edition, reached 86 by 2018, and topped out at a peak 89 in the 2021 game after that 11-sack year. He never played another down.
His younger brother was killed by a hit-and-run driver in June 2021, and Tuitt, also managing a lingering knee injury, sat out the season and announced his retirement in 2022 at age 29.
