Steelers' improved defensive play begins up front with 'quality' depth

The Steelers were last in the NFL against the run last season. They're not about to do that again.

In the offseason, much of the focus on the defensive side of the ball was bolstering the defensive front. Yes, this team has the best defensive player of the year in T.J. Watt and one of the best interior lineman in football in Cam Heyward. But they need more. That's why they added Larry Ogunjobi in free agency and drafted DeMarvin Leal out of Texas A&M in the third round of the NFL Draft.
