Is Devin Bush too small to make an impact for Steelers?

Is Devin Bush too small to make an impact at the NFL level? We dig into the latest Steelers stats and analytics:

Does size really matter? Bush is nearly universally praised for his blend of run-stuffing, pass coverage, and pass-rushing ability. About the only knock you'll hear about the Michigan star and 10th overall selection in the NFL draft is his size. But is it really that uncommon to see a player like Bush (listed at 5-foot-11 and 235) at linebacker? In today's NFL -- where the demands of the position have evolved to include chasing down fleet-footed tight ends and running backs -- it's not as rare.
