OTAs may have been voluntary, but that doesn’t mean that players can’t also volunteer for extra work on their own. And for the outside linebackers, that is what veteran Arthur Moats and third-year starter Bud Dupree have been doing for the Pittsburgh Steelers each day after practice, trying to get some more work in.
Dupree, of course, is already an entrenched starter, but there is heavy pressure, and expectations, for him to continue to get better. He missed the majority of his second season a year ago while recovering from a sports hernia surgery that resulted in him spending the first 10 games of the season on injured reserve.
