It is safe to say Bud Dupree’ season didn’t really go as planned. After spending time with pass rushing specialists this offseason, and being healthy, Dupree had high expectations placed on him both by no just the Steelers’ coaching staff, but also the fan base. Most expected Dupree to be the player who could finally break the team’s drought of not having a player register double-digit sacks in a season.
Dupree finished with six total sacks, and never missed a game.
The time is coming for the Steelers to have to make a choice on Dupree’s rookie contract.
