Steelers Welcome Tackling Machine Marcus Allen To The Secondary

The Pittsburgh Steelers brought the boom with the selection of Penn State safety Marcus Allen in the fifth round. The former Penn State safety is a tough, hard hitting player and will bring a type of physicality that many thought the Steelers lacked in the secondary last season. Just how bad did the Steelers lack consistent tackling in the last two thirds of the field last season? Our very own Josh Carney provided an answer in his final missed tackles report and its not pretty.

Ryan Shazier (26) and Sean Davis (24) led the team in missed tackles with 50 combined.
