Cameron Heyward Impressed With Taco Charlton’s First Action, Thinks He Can Be Used In 3-OLB Package

The Pittsburgh Steelers love to collect their former first-round draft picks, as you all know, but recently, they were forced to swap one for another at the outside linebacker position, trading Melvin Ingram and promoting Taco Charlton from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

Ingram was unhappy with his role in the team, anticipating reduced playing time as T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith got healthy, and while it might be too strong to say that he forced his way off the team, it’s clear that his dissatisfaction motivated the Steelers to move him for a sixth-round pick.
