Entering the offseason following a rather up-and-down 2022 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers identified the inside linebacker room as a real area of need and general weakness on the roster.

Veterans Cole Holcomb, Elandon Roberts, Kwon Alexander, Tanner Muse and Nick Kwiatkoski were brought in via free agency, and through two preseason matchups the veteran additions look like sound adds, which has former Steelers inside linebacker Ryan Shazier pleased overall with what he’s seeing at a position he once used to hold down for the Black and Gold.
