Alabama. Rashaan Evans. 28. player. 55. . Linebacker

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be a hungry team next season, after losing out at home in the Divisional Round last season. They will have all of their weapons back, including star running back Le’Veon Bell, who said he will not sit out the season. On defense, the team got faster, and younger last season, and they should look to add more talent to the group in the first round next week.

While T.J. Watt was a great signing in the first round last year, they should add a linebacker to the middle of the defense in 2018. One player who should be available is Rashaan Evans, a defensive force out of Alabama. Evans was a big reason the Crimson Tide won the national title last season, and will definitely hear his name called in the first round next Thursday.

Evans can play sideline to sideline, and he has a skill set that could land him getting picked even earlier in round one. With Evans and Watt headlining this defense for years to come, the Steel Curtain could be back in full effect in the coming years. There is so much talent on this roster that a trip to the AFC title game is the bare minimum they should accept next season.
