Dating back to the tragic career-ending injury Ryan Shazier suffered in the 2017 season on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been searching high and low for an answer to the inside linebacker position.
To date, they still haven’t found that answer, even after Devin Bush looked like one during his rookie season in 2019 after the Steelers traded into the top 10 to draft him out of Michigan.
Now, entering the offseason ahead of the 2023 season in free agency and the 2023 NFL Draft — in which the Steelers three picks in the top 50 — the emphasis is on the Steelers finding an answer at the position, specifically a playmaking one, according to Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox.
