A few seasons ago, following the devastating career-ending injury to linebacker Ryan Shazier, the Pittsburgh Steelers were in search of just one interior linebacker that brought significant athleticism, speed and overall versatility to the table to try and replace Shazier’s incredibly high ceiling.
Now, ahead of the 2022 season, thanks to some good fortune that’s headed their way due to another team’s decision making, the Steelers now have two such linebackers on the roster in fourth-year linebacker Devin Bush and new free agent signing Myles Jack.
Though Bush is coming off a rather rough (to put it nicely) third season, the combination of Bush and Jack in the middle — when healthy and firing on all cylinders — could strike fear into opposing offenses due to their sideline-to-sideline abilities.
