‘Starting To Gel A Lot’: Alex Highsmith Sees Remade ILB Room Coming Along Nicely

One of the big points of emphasis this offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers was rebuilding the inside linebacker room after a rather poor year overall from the previous group.

It wasn’t just last season, either.

Dating back to the tragic Ryan Shazier injury in 2017, the Steelers inside linebacker room has largely been a mess, which led to GM Omar Khan and assistant GM Andy Weidl throwing everything possible at the wall this offseason hoping something will stick.

Veterans Cole Holcomb, Elandon Roberts, Tanner Muse, Nick Kwiatkoski and Kwon Alexander were all signed in hopes of some of them playing key roles in stopping the seemingly endless churn at the position.
