Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense wilted down the stretch. While that unit still had a fine season overall, the Steelers didn’t meet their own standard defensively. Going into the 2025 season, their expectations will be high once again. That group only got more talented this offseason. They added proven veterans in Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay, while also infusing some youth into crucial spots like their defensive line. As a result, former Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly thinks they’ll be the best defense in the league this year.
“I think Pittsburgh’s always tough,” Kuechly said Monday on Up and Adams with Kay Adams.
