The Pittsburgh Steelers’ busy free agency included the signing of safety Keanu Neal. Today I wanted to provide some data context to what he provided last season in pass-rushing situations following my coverage and run defense articles on him, along with Pittsburgh’s 2022 safeties, and how they stacked up at the position to players with at least 150 pass snaps across the NFL last season.
Let’s get right to it, starting with 2022 pass snaps and pass-rush snaps to get a gauge of the position comparatively.
Here we see Neal led the players in our sights in pass-rush snap opportunities (24).
