How much will Jack Sawyer play this season?
Jack Sawyer is the sort of Steelers player who quickly becomes a fan favorite long before he ever actually plays. He has the look, he has a pedigree combined with an underdog narrative, and he says the right things. For those who appreciate football and a particular style of football, it’s just hard not to like him.
But Sawyer is also coming into a position group that is one of the deepest on the edge in the NFL. Not only do the Steelers have T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith as starters, but they also have Nick Herbig in reserve.
