The Steelers made several upgrades this offseason.
Outside of the well-documented quarterback room, the unit that received potentially the biggest facelift was the inside linebacker core. After an injury-riddled season for the group, Pittsburgh brought in new faces both in free agency and in the draft.
Starting in the free agency pool, the team brought in Patrick Queen by way of AFC North rival, the Baltimore Ravens. Poised to be the Steelers’ main starter alongside incumbent Elandon Roberts, Queen will be featured as the team’s defensive leader for the foreseeable future.
In the draft, the team added Payton Wilson from North Carolina State, and he seems to be in the running to play dime linebacker this season.
