Study: What The Steelers Look For In Drafting Outside Linebackers

Our third installment of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2020 “what they look for” study for this year’s draft class. We’ve already looked at the wide receivers and running backs so let’s flip over to the defense. Good odds the team drafts an EDGE rusher so let’s see who fits best.

As always, we’ll list all the OLBs drafted in the Mike Tomlin era and revisit our thresholds/criteria for the position. There are changes from last season.

2019: Sutton Smith

Height: 6’0/3
Weight: 233
Arm Length: 30 3/4
Hand Size: 9
