The Pittsburgh Steelers are leaning more into DeMarvin Leal as an outside linebacker, it seems. Always a bit of a “tweener” body type, they dabbled in it with him as a rookie. Now in Year 3, he is lighter and has a better understanding of what he is doing. Oh, he is also in a roster battle and grabbing hold of the credo of “the more you can do”.
With an unsettled fourth outside linebacker spot, Leal is hoping to make the Steelers’ decision easy. If they carry him, they not only bolster their defensive line but also their edge depth.
