A breakout season for Terrell Edmunds could make Steelers defense the best in the NFL

The Pittsburgh Steelers got off to a rocky start on the defensive side of the ball last season. Through the first two games of 2019, they surrendered over 30 points per contest. However, the trade for Minkah Fitzpatrick quickly turned things around.

The Steelers began making one splash play after another and eventually surrendered fewer points. With players like T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward, Joe Haden, and Steven Nelson, Pittsburgh’s defense proved to be loaded with talent last year.

But despite all of their success, there was still one glaring weak spot in 2019 – strong safety, Terrell Edmunds.
