Should Karl Dunbar be on the hot seat for the Steelers’ lack of developmental defensive linemen?
Mike Tomlin hired Karl Dunbar to coach the Steelers’ defensive linemen in 2018. Since then, the only player he has developed to any meaningful degree is Keeanu Benton. Benton was a second-round pick just a year ago and the highest they’ve drafted a lineman in a decade.
But the closest thing to development the Steelers have had other than Benton since 2018 is Isaiah Buggs. And Buggs did better after he left Pittsburgh. Most of Karl Dunbar’s prospects come in the late rounds, like Joshua Frazier, Carlos Davis, and Isaiahh Loudermilk.
