When the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to the Pacific Northwest on Sunday to play the Seattle Seahawks, they will see two familiar faces on the opposing sideline.
To the chagrin of many Steelers fans, two of Pittsburgh’s former first-round picks now suit up with Seattle after the team elected not to retain both after their rookie deals were up. CB Artie Burns and LB Devin Bush flamed out during their respective tenures in Pittsburgh before showing promise. Both players were thrust into prominent roles after being selected by the Steelers, but several variables adversely affected their respective development, ultimately resulting in Pittsburgh letting them walk after uninspiring tenures in the Black and Gold.
