The Pittsburgh Steelers just threw $41 million at Patrick Queen, a linebacker who carries with him a “Robin” perception. A former first-round draft pick with the stats to back it up, most conclude that he only came into his own after the Baltimore Ravens traded for Roquan Smith to play next to him.
Queen says that’s the biggest misconception those on the outside have about him. While he benefitted from the tutelage of the more experienced and accomplished veteran, he is his own player. That’s why the Steelers brought him here, and now he’s intent on proving them right.
