The Pittsburgh Steelers have been fortunate in recent years to get substantial playing time, and even production, from their young players. Not by coincidence, they have also happened to have needed those contributions early on from players such as T.J. Watt, JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner, and last year’s first-round pick, Terrell Edmunds. They will probably need the same from Devin Bush, the inside linebacker for whom they traded up in the first round in April.
As for Edmunds, he wasn’t supposed to have the role that he ended up with, as we all know by now.
