Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said Monday during his pre-draft press conference that this year’s group of 3-4 outside linebacker prospects is probably the best he’s seen in 10 or 15 years. That’s certainly great news if your Steelers fan as the team could certainly use two of them this year in the draft.
After Colbert talked about the depth quality of this year’s class of outside linebackers, head coach Mike Tomlin went on to explain why they might be ready to play sooner rather than later at the NFL level.
