Against the Dallas Cowboys in the Thursday night Hall of Fame game, not only did starting Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith play well, the team’s backups on the depth chart at the position looked good as well. Those backups behind Highsmith included Cassius Marsh, Jamir Jones, and rookie draft pick Quincy Roche. After Saturday’s training camp practice, Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler was asked to give his thoughts on what he’s seen out of the team’s backup outside linebackers so far.
“Jamir [Jones] is playing well for us,” Butler said of the former undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame.
