The drafting of Devin Bush has so far resulted in eighth-year veteran Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Vince Williams spending some time in practice during the spring watching the first-team defense run without him in the lineup. Because through May and June, they have been using a three-man rotation between himself, Bush, and veteran free agent addition Mark Barron.
He also understands that it’s entirely possible that Steelers start the season with Bush and Barron as their two primary inside linebackers. Even though he has previously experienced the loss of a starting job due to the drafting of a player at his position in the first round—Ryan Shazier in 2014—he’s much less worried about his role than about his team.
