The Pittsburgh Steelers seemingly drafted themselves a very versatile defensive lineman in Isaiah Buggs out of Alabama last weekend even though he he doesn’t exit college with ideal measurements. A few days ago during an interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert was asked to talk a little more in-depth about Buggs and he obliged.
“We have some familiarity [with Buggs] because [defensive line coach] Karl Dunbar coached him as a junior [at Alabama],” Colbert said. “And you know, Buggs can play inside and outside, but he was called on because Alabama had a couple injuries on the defensive front in certain packages and he got to rush the passer more than they probably wanted him to and he did produce for them with the nine and a half sacks.
