New Steelers defender sends stern message to former Browns teammates image

As there is every year, the Browns have some roster turnover on both sides of the ball. Long-time star running back Nick Chubb recently signed with the Houston Texans, finally cementing the fact that he wasn't returning to the Browns. Former Browns receiver Elijah Moore also left, signing with the Buffalo Bills after the NFL Draft. 

Another notable name no longer in Cleveland is safety Juan Thornhill, who signed with the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Make no mistake about it, either - Thornhill is excited to stick it to his former team.

"They've definitely got to see me two times a year," Thornhill said via Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I'm excited about that opportunity."

Thornhill spent the first four seasons of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2019-22, helping the Chiefs win two Super Bowls before spending two seasons with the Browns. Now in Pittsburgh, he'll look to be the team's third safety in the rotation behind Minkah Fitzpatrick and DeShon Elliott.
