Entering the offseason the Pittsburgh Steelers had a major need along the defensive line, especially after going through the 2023 season dealing with a significant Cameron Heyward injury that caused the defense to struggle.
Not only was Heyward’s injury an issue, but so was Larry Ogunjobi’s poor play throughout the season and DeMarvin Leal’s lack of development in Year Two. Fortunately for the Steelers, rookie Keeanu Benton emerged as a legitimate building block in the trenches.
But now, so far in the offseason, the Steelers have a major issue along the defensive line, even after re-signing nose tackle Montravius Adams to a two-year deal to ensure an experienced defensive lineman returns for depth.
