Patrick Queen’s first year as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting linebacker didn’t go exactly to plan. He was durable and available, even playing through a nasty flu bug in the team’s Wild Card loss, and at his best, made splash plays he flashed in Baltimore. But there’s a lot more he and the Steelers’ defense can achieve, making 2025 the year to offer a return on the organization’s big investment.

Speaking to Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews, Queen was candid about the challenges of last year and his goals this season.

“Last season’s last season, I think I’m over all that stuff,” he told Matthews in a recent interview.
