Pro Football Focus has been releasing its top 32 players in the NFL at every position, and the Pittsburgh Steelers recently peaked this morning when T.J. Watt ranked second among all edge rushers in the league. But even Watt’s honor doesn’t top how the Steelers did on PFF’s interior defenders list, also released this morning.
The Steelers’ entire starting defensive line was ranked by PFF among the league’s best, one of only two teams to have three or more players appear on the site’s list. The leader of that group, Cameron Heyward, ranked highest at third overall in the league, challenging Watt for the highest ranking across all positions.
