Charlton was a first-round choice in the 2017 NFL Draft and has yet to live up to the hype after being a star at Michigan. He played two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before going to the Miami Dolphins for a year and spent the 2020 campaign with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Now, Charlton will join a talented Steelers defense in hopes of revitalizing his career, and playing alongside guys like TJ Watt could help that matter.
As for TJ Watt, his status for Week 3 is up in the air after he left the game against the Las Vegas Raiders early with a groin injury. And, it turns out Charlton was hyped and can't wait for the terrible towels, per his latest Tweet.
Can’t wait to see them terrible towels 😈

Charlton is on the Steelers practice squad, but he is likely headed for the active roster once he gets comfortable with the system and this could be an under-the-radar signing if he can try and get back to his former self.
