The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to need some players to step up this week. They’re extremely thin at outside linebacker especially. T.J. Watt is one of the best players in the NFL, but he can’t do everything by himself. Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig are going to miss this week, so a few unfamiliar faces will find themselves getting more playing time. Adetokunbo Ogundeji is one of those players, and it sounds like Mike Tomlin has prepared him for this moment.
“[Tomlin] talks about it all the time in meetings,” Ogundeji said Wednesday via Aaron Becker of Yardbarker on Twitter.
