For last season’s Steelers squad, there were many bright spots to build upon for the upcoming season. Getting after opposing quarterbacks was something the team was again elite at, as they led the league in sacks for a fifth-straight season. This was due in large part to superstar T.J. Watt, who proved he was worth every penny of the $112 million deal he received just days before last season’s opener. He went on to tie the single-season sack record of 22.5, en route to bringing home his first NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award. The team’s single season rookie rushing record held by Hall Of Fame RB Franco Harris was broken by rookie Najee Harris’ 1,200 yards.
