The Steelers Have A Need, The Need For Inside Linebackers

The Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker room was chaotic, to say the least, in 2023. The Steelers went into the regular season with Cole Holcomb, Elandon Roberts, and last-minute addition Kwon Alexander atop the depth chart. However, injuries would ravage that group, with only Roberts able to finish the season on the active roster. That pressed a lot of linebackers into service, including Myles Jack, Mykal Walker, and Mark Robinson.

The results on the field were unspectacular as well. We know that the Steelers gave up 16 passing touchdowns in 2023. Alex Kozora charted how each individual defender played in 2023, and he had Walker responsible for four of those touchdowns.
