Before the NFL draft, edge rusher was one of the biggest strengths for the Pittsburgh Steelers. T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Nick Herbig are one of the best trios in the league. However, that didn’t stop the Steelers from adding to that room in the draft, though. In the fourth round, they made a slightly surprising pick by selecting Ohio State’s Jack Sawyer. While edge wasn’t a huge need for the Steelers, it sounds like they have a high opinion of Sawyer, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo.
“He makes big plays,” Fittipaldo said recently on the Armstrong Neighborhood Channel.
