Steelers’ Top Offseason Priority Is Pinpointing Pass Rush Help, According To NFL.com Analyst

As the NFL calendar churns onward towards more OTAs, minicamp, training camp and then the start of the regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers still have one glaring hole overall on the roster that needs addressed, according to one NFL.com writer.

That hole happens to reside behind reigning Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt and promising third-year linebacker Alex Highsmith in the No. 3 OLB role on the Steelers’ 3-4 defense. Currently, the Steelers have veterans Genard Avery and Derrek Tuszka on the roster, with Tuszka serving as the special teams player of the four, handling heavy duties there, rather than seeing a number of snaps on the edge.
