It didn\u2019t take long for new Pittsburgh Steelers safety Juan Thornhill to forget about his two years in Cleveland. Hours after the news of Thornhill signing a one-year deal<\/a> to move from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, Thornhill is showing off his new colors.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram video shared by comedian Cody Lewis Smith,<\/a> who teased the signing early Monday, Thornhill tosses his Browns\u2019 hat aside and pops back into the frame wearing a Steelers\u2019 lid while waiving a Terrible Towel.<\/p>\n

The original video had \u201cRenegade,\u201d Pittsburgh\u2019s unofficial anthem, playing in the background.<\/p>\n

Signed to a three-year deal, Thornhill spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons with the Browns. But he struggled to meet expectations as Cleveland\u2019s defense underperformed in 2024, finishing 27th in points allowed. A playmaker early in his career, Thornhill failed to intercept a pass in his two years with the team while his effort was questioned. The Browns cut him<\/a> early in the offseason.<\/p>\n

Clearly, Thornhill is ready for a fresh start. He also has a chance to face his former team twice a season, contests where he\u2019ll have a chip on his shoulder. Staying healthy will be key after missing six games in each of the past two seasons, which is a big reason why he was released. Like CB Darius Slay, Thornhill will bring hardware to a Steelers\u2019 team that has failed to win a playoff game in eight years. Thornhill won two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019 and 2022.<\/p>\n

A starter in Cleveland, Thornhill will serve as top safety depth in Pittsburgh. The Steelers lacked experience behind starters Minkah Fitzpatrick and DeShon Elliott and now have Thornhill sliding in as the No. 3 and competing for a sub-package role. However, CB Cory Trice Jr. will likely have first dibs on dime snaps to begin the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Whatever his role may be, Thornhill is as excited as anyone to be a Pittsburgh Steeler.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
