The Pittsburgh Steelers head into the 2018 season with some unfinished business, as they were beaten at home by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round. Luckily for Steelers fans, they have most of their offensive weapons coming back, including Ben Roethlisberger, who has already committed to next season. Star running back Le’Veon Bell is looking for a long-term deal, but he has said he will play in 2018, and the Steelers offense should be dangerous once again.
On defense, the unit got younger last season, and they played some excellent football at times. The Steelers spent their first round pick on linebacker T.J. Watt, and he played like a seasoned veteran. With their top pick in 2018, they should look to bring in another linebacker, but this time they should focus on the middle fo the defense.
One of the top middle linebackers in this draft class is Rashaan Evans from Alabama, who should be a dynamic player at the next level. Evns played a big role in the Crimson Tides last two national titles, earning the role of captain last year. He has had to work for everything he has accomplished during his time at Alabama, going from another player on the depth chart, to a leader on the field for the Crimson Tide.
