The Pittsburgh Steelers knew they were bringing in a special talent when they traded up in the first round to draft Devin Bush. That doesn’t mean, however, that they expect, or even want, the rookie to be playing every single snap of the 2019 season. And since the linebackers have been healthy, defensive coordinator Keith Butler has been more conservative in how much he’s asking him to do.
Over the course of the past three games, since they started utilizing the dime defense again, Bush hasn’t logged more than 77 percent of the defensive snaps, and it’s gone as low as under half the snaps.
