Batko Wonder Whether Steelers Keep Patrick Queen In Every-Down Role This Season

The Steelers signed Patrick Queen as an every-down linebacker—but what if they decide that’s not best for the team? While it’s reasonable to assume Queen will improve in his second season with the team, they also have a diversity of skillsets in that particular room. And they already have two other players who started for them at the position—Payton Wilson and Cole Holcomb. That’s not to even mention Malik Harrison, who offers a different body type from the rest.

It’s all gotten Brian Batko wondering what the team might be thinking. The Steelers obviously like Queen, but what if the room breaks a certain way during the offseason?
