The Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers have always been a source of pride in their defenses. From Jack Lambert, Jack Ham and Greg Lloyd to Lawrence Timmons, Ryan Shazier and T.J. Watt the linebackers are the anchors of the defense in the Steel City.
They filled a huge need early in the draft taking Devin Bush at 10th overall, but they added depth with their sixth round pick. Ulysees Gilbert heard his name called as the 207th pick of the draft.
Gilbert is a very instinctive, yet, slightly undersized linebacker from Akron University.
