DeShon Elliott Criticizes Former Team Dolphins' Toughness

Former Miami Dolphins safety DeShon Elliott criticized his 2023 team as 'soft' during an appearance on the 'Punch Line Podcast', hosted by Baltimore Ravens' cornerback Marlon Humphrey. Elliott, now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, expressed his frustration with the Dolphins' mental toughness, contrasting it with the Steelers' culture of mental resilience. Despite starting strong, the Dolphins ended the 2023 season with significant losses, including a 56-19 defeat to the Ravens and an early playoff exit against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel dismissed Elliott's comments, focusing on the current team's efforts to overcome a challenging season. The Dolphins, who are currently 3-6, are working to improve their standings following a recent victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Meanwhile, Elliott has found success with the Steelers, highlighting the contrasting fortunes post his departure from Miami.
