The Pittsburgh Steelers hope to get tremendous play out of Devin Bush this season, but here’s why they could be in a losing proposition with their young linebacker.

The Steelers clearly have high hopes for Devin Bush. After trading up from the 20th spot to the 10th overall pick in the NFL Draft, Pittsburgh showed why they believe that Bush can develop into one of the best linebackers in the NFL.

After a very promising rookie season that included 109 tackles, 9 tackles for a loss, 2 interceptions, 1 forced fumble, 4 fumble recoveries, and a defensive touchdown, according to Pro Football Reference, Bush suffered a setback in year two.
