‘It Is November Football’: ILB Elandon Roberts Relishes Additional Snaps, Role As Central Communicator

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a bit of a revolving door at inside linebacker recently. They started off the season with a solid three-man rotation, but injuries to Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander have forced a number of new names into action. Elandon Roberts started off the season playing about 50 percent of snaps in any given game but has been forced into a full-time starting role.

He played 95 percent of snaps against the Green Bay Packers in Week Ten and did not come off the field once against the Cleveland Browns last week. The 140 snaps he logged over those two games were roughly the same as his last five games’ worth of snaps combined.
