Larry Ogunjobi Stresses Importance Of Combining Power And Finesse Along D-Line

The Pittsburgh Steelers were hoping that a return of a healthy defensive line would solidify the weaknesses their defense displayed last season. While they did get Tyson Alualu back this year, Stephon Tuitt decided to retire, but they had the opportunity to replace him, at least for the 2022 season, with Larry Ogunjobi, a rather accomplished player in his own right.

The sixth-year veteran will start opposite Cameron Heyward, and he hopes to continue to build off of where he left off last season with the Cincinnati Bengals, a system that allowed him to use more of his athleticism, and which translated into a career year.
