Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday. If that name doesn’t ring any bells, then you might remember him from the massive altercation the Browns and Steelers had a few years ago.
The sixth-year DT shoved Mason Rudolph to the ground just after Myles Garrett struck the Pittsburgh quarterback in the head with his own helmet back in 2019. For his actions, he received a one-game suspension.
Ogunjobi spent his 2021 season with the Bengals and logged a career-high 7.0 sacks, 49 tackles and 16 QB hits through 16 regular-season games before his season was ended with a foot injury in the Bengals’ Wild Card win over Las Vegas.
Ogunjobi originally signed three-year, $40.5 million deal with the Chicago Bears, but a failed physical made him a free agent once again.
As for Rudolph, he is currently fighting for the Steelers’ starting quarterback job alongside former Pro Bowler Mitch Trubisky and 20th overall pick Kenny Pickett.
