The Steelers’ linebacking corps will have their hands full defending tight ends on their 2021 schedule.

ESPN recently released their ranking of the NFL’s top ten tight ends. The article is behind the ESPN+ paywall, but Steelers fans should know it contains multiple players the black and gold will meet this season.

Four of the top five. The defense will surely have its hands full this year.

Coming in at number four, but perhaps most pressing to the Steelers’ concerns as a division rival is Baltimore’s, Mark Andrews.
