The Pittsburgh Steelers paid ILB Patrick Queen well in free agency, though not as well as initial projections. While the Steelers gave him a three-year, $41 million contract, most believed he would get a bigger deal. Perhaps the reason he did not is the looming question of whether he can thrive without his “Batman”.
Again and again, we hear this idea that Patrick Queen, a former first-round pick out of LSU and an All-Pro last year, is only as good as he has been the past year and a half because he got to play next to Roquan Smith.
