The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the most storied histories when it comes to the linebacker position, from Andy Russell to Lawrence Timmons. It is no coincidence that Pittsburgh’s best defenses have been captained by a tough, gritty player at linebacker. Most recently, almost everyone believed Ryan Shazier would be the next great linebacker for the Steelers, but unfortunately, injuries can happen to anyone at any time, cutting Shazier’s career far too short. Since then, the Steelers have struggled to find their quarterback on defense, but according to one former General Manager, they may have finally solved that problem with Payton Wilson.
