The Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase has been hard on Bud Dupree over the years and on many occasions, rightfully so. He hadn’t been able to make the strides that would make him worthy of being worth the first round pick the Steelers have spent on him. Thus, when his fifth year option was picked up and the Steelers were going to have to pay 9.2 million dollars for him, fans were outraged.
However, Dupree has more than risen to the occasion and he is now on pace to have a career high number of sacks, QB Hits, and pressures all in the same season.
