Coming off of a rather rough 2021 season for the inside linebacker position for the Pittsburgh Steelers, then-GM Kevin Colbert and head coach Mike Tomlin knew they needed to address the position heavily in free agency and through the draft, especially with Devin Bush’s struggles in Year 3 and the importance of the position overall within the Steelers’ defensive scheme.
Enter Myles Jack.
The Steelers found themselves a bit fortunate early in free agency after the Jacksonville Jaguars, going through yet another regime change, cut loose the 26-year-old linebacker just one year into his four-year extension, placing a solid inside linebacker on the market.
