DeMarvin Leal is facing enormous pressure entering the final year of his contract, trying everything he can to stick around. Always something of a ‘tweener in terms of physique, during OTAs, the Steelers have him working at outside linebacker. This isn’t the first time he has repped or even played there, but this is a most concerted effort.
While that doesn’t mean that would be his new full-time position, the Steelers are trying to enable him. They want to give Leal every opportunity, not just to excel, but to simply make the team. Right now, they would appear to have a full defensive line room, and an outside linebacker room.
