Bud Dupree’s potential 5th year option is all about High Risk vs. High Reward for the Steelers

As the 2018 NFL Draft gets closer, the main positions of need continue to be the most obvious ones for the Pittsburgh Steelers: inside linebacker, quarterback, safety, etc. However, Kevin Colbert has a different decision at hand on whether to pick up the fifth-year option on Bud Dupree.

Last season saw Dupree for the first time in his career be elevated to a starter. He was available for 15 games, despite enduring a shoulder injury that kept out of the season opener. He has earned a career playing an average of 13 games.
