It may have taken a bit longer than many would have liked, but the debut in the black and gold for new Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi offered some glimpses into just what he’s expected to bring to the table as a defender in the Steel City in 2022.
Making his Steelers debut last Saturday on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Ogunjobi played 22 snaps with many of the Steelers’ projected starters on the field, outside of Cameron Heyward and third-year linebacker Alex Highsmith. In those 22 snaps, Ogunjobi showed what he can do as a run defender, but as a pass rusher he looked like he was simply trying to get his legs underneath him overall as he didn’t offer much there in that department.
