When the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Ohio State pass rusher Jack Sawyer in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, it was a bit of a confusing moving considering roster needs elsewhere. But it did shore up depth in a significant way at the outside linebacker position.

Sawyer’s high motor was evident throughout training camp and the preseason, but for NFL.
