The Pittsburgh Steelers love having depth at outside linebacker. They proved that when they took Ohio State LB Jack Sawyer in the fourth round. He fits the mold of a Steelers edge rusher, even if he has shorter arms (just like Nick Herbig).
But it’s Sawyer’s mentality and approach the Steelers have fallen in love with. During a post-draft press conference, HC Mike Tomlin was asked about how he views Sawyer.
“Love Jack Sawyer,” said Tomlin via video from the Steelers’ YouTube channel. “It’s easy to love, not just in terms of his resume but his relationship with the game, his approach to football business, how he is viewed and received by his teammates.
