The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely rely heavily on a star-studded defense during the 2024 season, at least early on, as the new-look offense rounds into form.
On that star-studded defense, the Steelers just so happen to have three of the top 100 players in the NFL entering the 2024 season.
At least, according to ESPN’s top 100 players rankings, which were released Monday morning. According to ESPN, the rankings were formulated based on a panel of dozens of ESPN NFL experts to rate players based on performance expectations for the 2024 season compared with their peers.
Additionally, according to ESPN, the emphasis was placed solely on the upcoming season and predicting potential greatness rather than on past performance or positional value.
