Steelers fans everywhere were ecstatic that Pittsburgh was able to land Devin Bush in the 2019 NFL Draft. In a very un-Colbert like move, the Steelers traded up in the first round for the first time since drafting Santonio Holmes back in 2006.
Though it cost Pittsburgh their 2019 1st and 2nd round picks in addition to a 3rd round draft choice in 2020. They were able to land a linebacker they believe was a blue-chip player in last year’s draft class.
Bush certainly flashed at times as a rookie. He created 6 defensive takeaways (2 interceptions and 4 fumble recoveries) in addition to scoring a defensive touchdown back in Week 6 against the Chargers.
