Many likely assumed that inside linebacker was pretty much taken off the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft boards once they were able to lock in Vince Williams for a return season after the team had previously let him go as a salary cap casualty.
They were already shaping up well, getting Devin Bush and Ulysees Gilbert III back from injury, not to mention Robert Spillane, who came on last year and presumably would have waltzed into the starting job had they not brought Williams back.
And yet last year they found themselves starting games with Marcus Allen, and being one snap away from Tegray Scales getting on the field.
