It’s just four games into the season, but veteran linebacker Patrick Queen is quietly becoming the linebacker the Pittsburgh Steelers paid him to be last offseason. He was their big splash in free agency.
He had a tough first season in the Black and Gold, one that saw him play every single snap but struggle with communication and consistency. This year, Queen is playing with his hair on fire so far in 2025, making plays left and right. He’s brought a significant element of physicality, too, and has transformed into an effective blitzer.
On Sunday in Dublin, Ireland, against the Minnesota Vikings, Queen had his best performance as a Steeler, period.
