If the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is going to truly get back to its high-end run stopping ways in 2022, fourth-year linebacker Devin Bush is going to have to rebound in a big way.
The 2021 season was rather disastrous for the former No. 10 overall pick as he returned from a torn ACL suffered in 2020 and never quite found his footing again. Bush looked rather timid and hesitant overall, which led to some very poor reps against the run, leading to him being subbed in and out late in the season.
Now, with a full offseason of health ahead of him, Bush will have no excuses in 2022, especially after the Steelers declined his fifth-year option, making the 2022 season a make-or-break one with the black and gold.
