In 31 snaps last Saturday at Acrisure Stadium against the Buffalo Bills, no backup player was better for the Pittsburgh Steelers than inside linebacker Tanner Muse.
Muse, who was signed as a free agent in the offseason away from the Seattle Seahawks, graded out at 90.8 overall defensively by Pro Football Focus, and was named the “most impressive backup” for the Steelers in their preseason Week Two win over Buffalo.
“The former Clemson Tiger has played mostly on special teams in the NFL, and that is where he is expected to play in Pittsburgh. But his defensive play against the Bills was encouraging,” PFF’s Zoltan Buday writes.
