Derek Rivers May Be Exactly What Steelers Need On Defensive Line

This past season the Pittsburgh Steelers struggled to rush the passer. There were no players on the team who had more than five sacks. Only one player reached five sacks and that was James Harrison, who at the age of 38, would yet again lead all Steelers in total sacks and produce at an extremely high level.

The good news is that second year player Bud Dupree showed a great bit of promise in the games that he did play. While he only appeared in seven games, he finished second on the team with four and a half sacks.
