After adding veteran outside linebacker Melvin Ingram in mid-July, the Pittsburgh Steelers — at least on paper — did a tremendous job of shoring up a legitimate hole on the roster behind All-Pro outside linebacker T.J. Watt and budding second-year pass rusher Alex Highsmith.
Since that day, Ingram has been nothing short of spectacular in Pittsburgh, embracing his reserve role with the Steelers, according to head coach Mike Tomlin, while helping Watt and Highsmith continue to develop their pass-rush repertoire, creating a three-headed monster at outside linebacker in a formidable Steelers’ front seven defensively.
