There’s no doubt the Pittsburgh Steelers keeping only three outside linebackers, arguably the most important position in their 3-4 defense, is unusual. Ola Adeniyi landing on IR leaves the team with just T.J. Watt, Bud Dupree, and Anthony Chickillo.
But there’s another name who could throw his hat into the edge rusher ring: UDFA sensation Matthew Thomas. Listed as an inside linebacker, the Steelers like his pass rush ability. In a pinch, or for some sub-package football, Thomas could play on the outside.
He wouldn’t be the first Seminole to do so.
