Keion Adams Having Strong Start To ‘Second’ Rookie Year

The Pittsburgh Steelers defender with the most pressures this preseason isn’t Cam Heyward, Stephon Tuitt or even standout rookie Ola Adeniyi. It’s Keion Adams, who has racked up a total of five of them through two weeks, based on the charting I’ve done this summer.

It’s a pleasant surprise to a defense searching for pass rush, even though Adams won’t start and it’s unclear how much playtime – if any – he’ll see in 2018. Adams success creates more comfort along the depth chart at a position that badly needs it.
