The team needs depth and rotational players in 2021, because Watt and Highsmith won’t be able to be on the field for every snap. The Steelers have shown some interest in edge rushing prospects during the pre-draft process. Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert recently attended Florida State’s Pro Day where Josh Kaindoh flashed his athleticism.
