In the days since the Pittsburgh Steelers poached linebacker Patrick Queen away from the Baltimore Ravens in free agency, there’s been quite a few discussions regarding concerns of Queen being a product of playing next to All-Pro Roquan Smith for the last two years.
Many are concerned that with Queen not next to Smith defensively, the former LSU standout and first-round pick in 2021 will fall back to his poor play shown during the first two years of his NFL career. The argument seems to be that Smith’s presence in Baltimore made Queen into what he became over the past two seasons.
