After losing rising star ILB Devin Bush to an ACL injury in Week 6 versus the Browns, fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers were first frantic and eventually relieved to see Robert Spillane step in as a starter, fulfilling Head Coach Mike Tomlin’s “next man up” mantra very capably. Spillane was an undrafted free agent originally signed by the Titans and released during his rookie season. He was signed by the Steelers the following February 2019 and activated from the practice squad to the 53 man roster in November 2019. He has played well in Bush’s absence this year, making a statement with a one-man goal line stand against Derrick Henry and a pick-6 against the Ravens.
