During their reign atop the league in sacks, the Steelers got steady contributions from their inside linebackers, often racking up high single-digit or even double-digit totals as a group. But that production has cratered in recent years. Despite rostering three capable blitzers in Patrick Queen, Elandon Roberts, and Payton Wilson, the trio combined for just two sacks.
Queen hopes to return to the blitz to help make splash plays for the defense in 2025.
“I sure hope so,” Queen said when asked if they will have more pressure packages this year via Pittsburgh DSEN on YouTube.
