2018 Draft Prospect Profile: EDGE Hercules Mata’afa

The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t have many current needs, but one they may want to shore up in the future is outside linebacker. Bud Dupree may not be in Pittsburgh for the long haul after having another disappointing season after many were expecting a double digit sack-breakout season. The back half of the 2017 season, it really seemed like Dupree was giving much less than 100% effort. A guy who can come in and be a relentless force is Hercules Mata’afa.
