In 2016, young linebacker Elandon Roberts was going through the NFL draft cycle. Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had an eye for Roberts, and even attended his Pro Day at the University of Houston. Roberts became a New England Patriot that year, but he eventually found his way to Pittsburgh before the 2023 season.
His first season as a Steeler was a good one. Roberts recorded 101 tackles, with 68 of them being solo and had 10 tackles for a loss. Roberts even rushed the pocket a couple of times, racking up 2.5 sacks. So far in his second year, Roberts is playing just as well, and has made a massive difference against the run.
