There’s a palpable excitement surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers early on in the 2021 training camp in training camp, and that excitement has extended down into the Steelers’ players, namely one new player – outside linebacker Melvin Ingram III.
Speaking to reporters Saturday following practice at the Steelers’ South Side facility, Ingram spoke glowingly about getting the chance to play with not only All-Pro outside linebacker T.J. Watt, but second-year outside linebacker Alex Highsmith as well.
Highsmith is slated to assume the starting role opposite Watt after the loss of Bud Dupree in free agency, which puts Ingram in more of a reserve role, though the Steelers and defensive coordinator Keith Butler said they would experiment with all three on the field together at the same time.
