The Pittsburgh Steelers had a busy free agency, including the signing of Myles Jack, and today I wanted to provide some data context to what he provided last season in the running game along with Pittsburgh’s linebackers as well. Let’s get right to it, starting with 2021 run defense snaps and average tackle depth to get a gauge of the quantity of plays and yardage comparatively.
Of the three players in our sites today, with Joe Schobert had the most snaps of the highlighted players (ninth most in the NFL last season) but tied for the 44th worst average tackle depth out of the 52 players that had 250 run snaps or more.
