For a good portion of his first season and into his second, inside linebacker Devin Bush at times did look like he could develop into the guy that the Pittsburgh Steelers believed they were drafting 10th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft—the guy they traded up 10 spots to target.
He became the first player in team history to record over 100 tackles as a rookie, and also had six takeaways. He led the fan voting for the AFC for the Pro Bowl, but ultimately did not get in. He was a bit up and down to begin his sophomore season in 2020, but was trending the right way when he tore his ACL in game five.
