The Pittsburgh Steelers have reshaped their inside linebacker room this offseason, letting veteran Elandon Roberts walk in free agency while replacing him with former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Malik Harrison in free agency.
The Steelers are also set to see Cole Holcomb return and selected Washington LB Carson Bruener in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft a few weeks ago.
They’ll have to replace that downhill thumper in the run game in Roberts, but second-year pro Payton Wilson looks poised to take on a larger role defensively.
In fact, Pro Football Focus highlighted Wilson as the Steelers’ breakout candidate for the 2025 season.
