The Steelers traded up in the NFL Draft to get Wisconsin DL Isaiahh Loudermilk, but many aren’t aware of his inspiring backstory.
Is there a team in the league that values big, long defensive linemen as much as the Pittsburgh Steelers. For decades, Pittsburgh has coveted long, powerful defensive lineman that could play the 5-technique role in their 3-4 defense and hold up against the point of attack. Over the years, the team has gone from players like Kimo von Oelhoffen, Aaron Smith, and Brett Keisel to Cameron Heyward, Stephon Tuitt, and Chris Wormley.
