Former Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton made his return to Ford Field as a member of the Pittsburg Steelers in the preseason Week 3 game on Saturday and managed to make his mark.
With the Steelers holding on to a 17-14 lead in the third quarter, quarterback Hendon Hooker threw a pass over the middle to undrafted free agent wide receiver Isaiah Williams.
But the pass hit off the outstretched hands of Williams and just happened to end up in the waiting arms of Sutton, who was in the right place at the right time and completed the interception before returning it 10 yards.
Sutton was clearly fired up to grab the interception against his former mates, as evidenced by his punting the ball into the stands after the play.
INT 💪

Sutton signed with the Lions during the 2023 offseason and played in 17 games over his lone season in Detroit. But he was released earlier this offseason after getting into legal trouble that saw him evade law enforcement for weeks after a domestic violence warrant was issued for him. He later turned himself in.
Sutton, who originally entered the league with Pittsburgh signed with the Steelers in June. In July, he was given an eight-game suspension, so Saturday's contest will be his last action for awhile.
