Playing in the NFL as a rookie has got to be one of the most daunting tasks you could ask for from a professional athlete. But doing so as perhaps the youngest relevant player in the league is something else entirely. That’s precisely what Devin Bush did in his first season with the Steelers.
Despite a complex defensive scheme, the 21-year old linebacker stepped right in and made a difference on the defensive side of the ball. Bush nabbed 3 fumble recoveries in the first three weeks of the season. The following week against Cincinnati, he earned nine tackles and rode down the ball carrier for a loss 3 times.
