Patrick Queen ‘Wasn’t As Strong’ In Year 1 With Steelers, Lands In Tier 4 Of PFF’s Rankings

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a significant splash last offseason in free agency. Spending big money on veteran linebacker Patrick Queen, they pried him away from the Baltimore Ravens in an effort to fix their issues at inside linebacker once and for all.

It just didn’t go the way many expected in Year 1 for Queen and the Steelers.

He wasn’t a bust by any stretch of the imagination, but he wasn’t the impact player the Steelers believed they were getting. Now, entering Year 2 with the Steelers while wearing the green dot and being the hub of communication for the defense, things are expected to be better for Queen and Pittsburgh.
