The Pittsburgh Steelers went into last offseason with a clear objective: overhaul the inside linebacker room. Overhaul they did, seeing the likes of Myles Jack, Devin Bush, Robert Spillane, and Marcus Allen walk out the door as they brought in Cole Holcomb, Elandon Roberts, and Kwon Alexander to pair with second-year linebacker Mark Robinson for 2023.
The renovation of the inside linebacker room has already yielded positive results as Pittsburgh has multiple guys that play the aggressor role on defense, flying around to the football making big hits in the backfield as well as in space. Roberts was commended by Jason McCourty on Good Morning Football last week for his big run stuff against the Cleveland Browns.
