After being a splashy free agent signee who received a hefty contract and was stolen away from a division rival, major expectations were placed on linebacker Patrick Queen in Year 1 with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Though he had some good moments, there was much left to be desired in 2024 for Queen in the Black and Gold. While Queen led the Steelers with 129 tackles (7.6 per game) and added six tackles for loss, seven pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and one sack while playing in every game, he didn’t quite have the impact many expected.
In his 1,164 snaps last season, Queen missed a team-high 22 tackles and graded out at just a 56.
