Constructing a 53-man roster is rather difficult, especially when trying to ensure that several key areas have plenty of depth and flexibility. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, it can be difficult to make sure all bases are covered. After all, you only get 53 roster spots on the active roster. So, the more you can do as a player, the more hats you can wear, the better. Thanks to DeMarvin Leal, the Steelers were able to address two positions with one roster spot. His flexibility allowed him to play base and sub-package defensive line and some outside linebacker, which he added to his resume during training camp.
