Terrell Edmunds is a gift from Virginia Tech handed to the City of Champions. Not only does this man possess great skills as a safety, but from what we’ve seen during rookie mini camp, he’s also an inside linebacker.
Many questioned the pick of Edmunds so early in the draft. People believed they could’ve found him during the second-round if they waited. But Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert had a plan, and they executed it perfectly.
Without any real first-round inside linebacker left on the board, the Steelers draft room started thinking multiple holes. The defense had two positions to fill, neither of which needed to be a starter.
