When the Steelers traded up to the 10th spot in the 2019 NFL draft to select Devin Bush, I was ecstatic. I was born in Michigan, to a Michigan family, and I’ve followed Wolverines football longer than I have followed any NFL football. I loved being able to continue cheering for Devin Bush, but more than that, I was excited that the Steelers solved their inside linebacker hole with the best fit for their system that I had seen in years.
Devin Bush faced immediate comparisons to Steelers inside linebackers James Farrior and Ryan Shazier, but he didn’t remind me of either of those players.
