The Pittsburgh Steelers were a team in desperate need of an inside linebacker in 2020. After Devin Bush was lost for the season with a torn ACL, and Robert Spillane was sidelined with an injury, the Steelers had no choice but to get creative.
The team traded with the New York Jets for Avery Williamson, and even put Marcus Allen into the role of inside linebacker during last season.
Regardless of who they put out there, it left Williams and Vince Williams on their own proverbial islands, and that isn’t a good thing.
