One position group that was significantly improved this offseason by the Pittsburgh Steelers was inside linebacker. After struggling to patchwork the position down the stretch due to injuries, the Steelers under GM Omar Khan went out and made significant upgrades to the position.
Veteran Patrick Queen was signed in free agency to a three-year, $41 million deal in a major splash for the Steelers, while Payton Wilson was drafted in the third round out of North Carolina State as the Steelers took advantage of the value on the linebacker, who fell due to perceived medical concerns, landing arguably the best off-ball linebacker in the draft.
