Once the Pittsburgh Steelers signed DL Larry Ogunjobi, many wondered how he would fit into the defensive line rotation. Figuratively, he could push either Tyson Alualu or Chris Wormley to see action in Pittsburgh’s 3-4 base defense, but should see action as one of the two defensive linemen on the field in sub package situations.
Still, a thought that should be considered is whether Pittsburgh would potentially look to extend Ogunjobi after the 2022 season as a potential replacement at nose tackle for the veteran Alualu who has managed to battle back from an ankle injury that cost him a majority of the 2021 season to play for Pittsburgh at age 35 this year.
