The Steelers’ pass rush has always been a major strength of the team, dating back to the Steel Curtain days. The same remains true for the modern-day Steelers, obviously led by TJ Watt and others.
Karl Dunbar, the team’s defensive line coach since 2018, has played a large role in the progression of the pass rush. TJ Watt has obviously developed into arguably the best pass-rusher in football. The likes of Alex Highsmith and Bud Dupree have enjoyed tremendous growths in their times as a Steeler.
Perhaps more importantly, the Steelers get more pressure out of their defensive linemen than we’re accustomed to seeing.
