A rough third year in his return from a knee injury has raised doubts for Pittsburgh Steelers’ young linebacker Devin Bush. So much so, in fact, that the Steelers made the decision to decline his fifth-year option, making him an unrestricted free agent after the 2022 season ends.
Knowing how bad his third season was from a physical and mental standpoint, Devin Bush — while speaking with reporters Wednesday following the Steelers’ OTA session at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex — stated that he didn’t need the extra added motivation from the declined fifth-year option knowing that he’s out to show he is a starting caliber NFL linebacker moving forward.
