The entire Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense struggled during the home stretch of the 2024 season. If there was one unit that struggled the most, though, it was Pittsburgh’s defensive line. That’s a spot Pittsburgh targeted heavily this offseason, especially during the NFL Draft. ESPN’s Kevin Clark thinks the unit has improved so much that it’s up there with the Philadelphia Eagles, in consideration for the best defensive line in the league.
“For me, it’s not them going in on Rodgers, it’s getting Rodgers because they’re going all-in on their defense, and their core, which is aging,” Clark said on First Take on Wednesday, in regards to the biggest takeaway from the Steelers’ offseason.
