Selected with the 22nd pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, Bud Dupree came to the Steelers after the loss of Jason Worilds (who decided to retire instead of pursuing free agency.)
Though his career has been rather plagued with injuries throughout, he has overall had more underwhelming performances than desired results.
While he has been trending in the right direction, it only gave the Steelers enough confidence to exercise his fifth-year option instead of offering a lucrative, long term deal. He is playing in his final contract year on a value of $9.
