Cam Heyward was exaggerating when the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle referred to safety Terrell Edmunds as "no body fat Rell ."But only by a little.Technically Youth Travis Fulgham Jersey , Edmunds' body fat is at 2.1% as he enters his second training camp. Yes, that's lowest on the team and maybe the entire NFL. And yes, it's a point of pride in a way for the 6-foot-1, 217-pound 22-year-old, particularly when you factor in that he makes M&Ms a part of his daily diet."They tell me I shouldn't go any lower," Edmunds said. "So that's my plan not to go any lower. Stay right there. I want to get to like 3-4 just to feel comfortable and make sure I don't cramp up because a full body cramp is not what I need. It doesn't feel good. Just trying to stay right there."A couple of extra bags of chips — Edmunds' other junk food of choice — and a little extra rest on Sundays would help.Expected to be brought along slowly as a rookie behind veteran Morgan Burnett White Travis Fulgham Jersey , Edmunds instead played on 92% of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps while Burnett dealt with a variety of injuries, the second-highest mark on the team next to safety Sean Davis.There were bumps along the way and long nights when Edmunds would come home from 11-hour days at the team facility, throw his weary legs into a pair of compression sleeves and spend an hour going over film on his iPad. It was draining and exhilarating at the same time.Yet the 28th overall pick in the 2018 draft hung in there, finishing second on the team with 78 tackles and impressing head coach Mike Tomlin with his resilience."He is highly conditioned," Tomlin said. "I think that is the one thing we learned about him. I think it was a unique thing for a guy in his position to be able to play the number of snaps he was able to play. To have that level of availability was a unique thing."Still, Edmunds is just fine if he sees the field a little less this season. The same goes for the 10 guys he shares the huddle with. It means the defense is delivering on its offseason mandate to create more takeaways after finishing with just 15 in 2018 Danny Amendola Jersey , tied for third-fewest in the league."We had a lot of balls that came to us that just dropped or we didn't make the play on it," said Edmunds, who had one of Pittsburgh's eight interceptions. "If we made those plays, nobody would talk about we need to make more interceptions or anything like that. We've just got to make the plays that come to us."To that end the secondary is doing what it can to hold each other accountable. The defensive backs end each practice at Saint Vincent College catching passes off a JUGS machine. When second-year nickelback Cam Sutton dropped an easy pick during drills, he earned himself push-ups as punishment."We're all holding each other to that standard," Edmunds said.Edmunds knows about standards. His father Ferrell was a two-time Pro Bowl tight end in the 1980s and 1990s. Older brother Trey is a running back hoping to earn a roster spot with the Steelers. Younger brother Tremaine is a linebacker in his second year with the Buffalo Bills.The three spent their childhood taking turns pushing the other. The journey ended with each of them in the NFL eager to carve out their own niche. Terrell is the fastest — and he adds Trey Flowers Jersey , the fittest — of the group. Yet he also knows it takes more than just physical prowess to survive."I needed to learn how to play and how to communicate with different people because everybody's communication is a little bit," Edmunds said. "We speak in the same language. But the way one person might get it delivered to them is a little bit different. I definitely feel comfortable back there with everyone now."The Steelers need Edmunds to be comfortable if they want to bounce back after fading to a 9-6-1 finish and missing the playoffs. The July through December slog wasn't always fun for Edmunds. Yet he embraced the grind and points to his body as proof. He's aware his body-fat percentage reads as borderline unhealthy. He stresses it's not. He attempts to drink as much water as he can to avoid cramps but otherwise, he's eager to show that he's more adept at handling the grind that awaits than he was last summer."It was just a long year," Edmunds said. "But it was a long offseason. We don't want to have that again either so, it's just something you've got to buy into. I've bought into it and now we're here again."NOTES: WR Ryan Switzer (quad), OL Derwin Gray (fatigue) and CB Herb Waters (shoulder) left practice Wednesday with injuries. ... The Steelers were awarded WR receiver Brandon Reilly off waivers. Reilly was recently released by the Detroit Lions before being claimed by the Steelers. ... To make room for Reilly Damon Harrison Jersey , the Steelers waived cornerback Alexander Myres with a non-football illness designation. We noted yesterday that former Lions defensive end Ziggy Ansah is among the pass rushers the Seahawks could consider, and now the Seahawks are taking a look.Ansah is in Seattle today visiting the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.After trading away Frank Clark, who led the team in sacks last season, the Seahawks would like to upgrade at the position. Ansah could fit the bill.The Seahawks would likely wait until after May 7 to sign Ansah, because signing him before then would count against them in the compensatory pick formula. Seattle is currently expected to get third- Ricky Jean Francois Jersey , fourth-, sixth- and seventh-round compensatory picks, but that would change if they signed Ansah before the deadline.Ansah is recovering from a shoulder injury and managed just four sacks last year. But he had 12 sacks in 2017, and if he’s healthy in 2019 he could be due for a bounce back. He could end up being a good addition at a reasonable price for Seattle, or some other team.
