This is the second part of my look at the roster heading into the 2021 free agency period, if you missed the first part, feel free to click the link below.
Outside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers is a great position to play. The defensive line duo of Stephon Tuitt and Cameron Heyward create pressure up the middle, and keep quarterbacks from escaping the rush from the outside, and Keith Butler’s schemes are designed to prevent teams from double teaming their edge rushers. And that scheme works, works well enough that T.J. Watt falls in the middle of the pack in the rate of double teams he faced the last two seasons despite leading the NFL in sacks, QB hits, and tackles for a loss in those years.
