Steelers Confirm Taco Charlton Was Signed To Play OLB

When the Pittsburgh Steelers first announced the signing of Taco Charlton to the practice squad, it was a little unclear what role he’d play. Would he serve as an interior sub-rusher, a base defensive end (the team announced him as a DE) or an outside linebacker? Keith Butler provided an answer Thursday, saying Charlton will serve as an EDGE rusher with the Steelers.

That’s according to this tweet from ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.
