If you think that cornerback Arthur Maulet has forgotten about the Pittsburgh Steelers cutting him back in May, you'd be mistaken. 

He's since taken his talent to the Baltimore Ravens on a one year deal that includes over $200,000 fully guaranteed, and he's looking forward to facing the Steelers when the two teams get together later in the regular season on October 8 in Week 5.

"It's circled on my calendar for sure," Maulet said of the matchup . 

"I'm a vet, year No. 7," Maulet said. "I just wanted a little something, a little security. I think I earned that. Baltimore gave me that, which was surprising that it was a rivalry team. Obviously, they believe in me. That just makes me feel good about the work I put in this offseason."

After suffering a hamstring injury shortly after the signing, he's now healthy and ready to go.

"Blessed, because I didn't play any preseason games," Maulet said. "I'm a tough guy, I kind of fit the scheme, I like the way their defense is set up. I think I'm going to thrive in it. I can't wait to get out there and play.

"I think I'm going to be based more in the nickel, in the inside. That's where I make my money. I'm ready to go Week 1. I'm just grateful for them to honestly believe in my talents and the way I play. I learned the playbook pretty fast. I'm a downhill guy, aggressive nickel back. I think I fit the scheme perfectly."
