While it seems to have become increasingly difficult to find ‘bright spots’ within the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense since T.J. Watt went down with an injury, one of pleasant finds—even if not surprises—has been the seamless integration of inside linebacker Myles Jack into the system.
Signed to a two-year, $16 million contract in March after the Jacksonville Jaguars cut him loose, the veteran has been plug and play as the communicator and the tackling machine on the defense, leading the team with 35 tackles through three games, including two for loss.
It’s been a long process for the Steelers to get comfortable here since Ryan Shazier suffered a career-ending injury in 2017.
