There were question marks for most of the offseason about what the Pittsburgh Steelers’ pass rush, particularly off the edge, would look like after Bud Dupree left in free agency and the team had not made any significant moves to address the outside linebacker position.
They still had T.J. Watt, of course, who has five sacks and a couple forced fumbles to his credit already this season, but second-year Alex Highsmith was at least something of a question mark, and there was no appreciable depth. Cassius Marsh, who is currently a free agent, ran most of the offseason as their number three.
