A new team, a fresh start and surrounded by plenty of high-end talent on the defensive side of the football under great defensive minds in Mike Tomlin, Teryl Austin and Brian Flores could lead to a significant bounce-back season for Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Myles Jack.
At least, that’s what Pro Football Focus is banking on, tabbing the veteran linebacker as the Steelers’ top bounce-back candidate for the 2022 season Thursday.
Signed to a two-year, $12 million deal in free agency just one day after being cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars in a surprise move, Jack landed in the Steel City with the intentions of solidifying the inside linebacker position for the black and gold, a position that’s gone through its fair share of ups and downs since Ryan Shazier suffered that tragic back injury in Cincinnati all those years ago.
