DC Teryl Austin Hopeful LB Mark Robinson Can Compete For Starting Job ‘Next Season’

The Pittsburgh Steelers overhauled their inside linebacker room this offseason. Gone are Devin Bush, Robert Spillane, Marcus Allen, and Myles Jack. New are Cole Holcomb, Elandon Roberts, and Tanner Muse.

The only constant is second-year Mark Robinson. A former running back who spent just one year in college playing linebacker, he’s pushing for more playing time in 2023.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Steelers’ defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is hopeful Robinson can be in the mix to start “next season.” Here’s what he said via the PPG’s Ray Fittipaldo.

Steelers DC Teryl Austin said Mark Robinson is still a work in progress, but he said the hope is he will be ready to compete for a starting job next season.
