The speed that made the Steelers take him in the fourth round of the 2022 draft is still there. And the future once again is bright.When Austin crossed the goal line for the first time at the end of a pretty 67-yard catch-and-run against Tampa Bay last week, he exhaled. Technically, it was 666 days between his 69-yard sprint on a reverse in Memphis’ win over Navy on Oct. 14, 2021, and his cathartic race to the end zone in Pittsburgh’s preseason-opening win over the Buccaneers on Aug. 11.To Austin, however, it felt like “forever.” Maybe because in a way it was, at least in a football sense.Austin impressed almost immediately during his first training camp a year ago before sustaining a Lisfranc injury in his left foot, endin...
