There was a time that the Pittsburgh Steelers were known as something of a linebacker factory. They still uncover a great one from time to time, like T.J. Watt. Bud Dupree has also developed, and Devin Bush is a budding star, while Vince Williams is the reliable grizzly and perpetually underappreciated veteran.
But if there is one position that defines the team over the past dozen years, it’s wide receiver. It has been Mike Tomlin’s greatest legacy as a collegiate talent evaluator. While it unfortunately started inauspiciously with Limas Sweed in his second season, he has added plenty of talent since then.
