Given the predicted departure of Javon Hargrave, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive line will be somewhat in flux from the 2019 season to 2020. Even with the return of Stephon Tuitt, who missed about two thirds of last season, losing Hargrave means the pecking order will change to some degree.
Second-year Isaiah Buggs is hoping to be a part of that change. A sixth-round pick out of Alabama, he did benefit last season from Tuitt’s injury, as he was a healthy scratch for the first six weeks but played for the rest of the season, albeit at a pace of around 10 snaps per game.
