Trio defensivo dos Steelers é classificado em 11º lugar em nova lista da NFL

Um novo ranking da SI coloca o principal trio defensivo do Pittsburgh Steelers na 11ª posição da NFL. O grupo inclui o edge rusher T.J. Watt, o linebacker Patrick Queen e o jogador de secundária Jamel Dean.

O ranking surge após os Steelers realizarem várias mudanças defensivas nesta intertemporada. Dean, contratado como agente livre vindo dos Buccaneers, é visto como a principal opção de secundária da equipe, à frente de jogadores como Joey Porter Jr. e Jalen Ramsey. O redator da SI, Gilberto Manzano, observou que o novo coordenador defensivo, Patrick Graham, precisará encontrar maneiras criativas de utilizar Dean, que mostrou inconsistência em suas últimas temporadas em Tampa Bay. Queen entra em um ano de contrato após um período inconsistente, enquanto a produção de Watt caiu na última temporada. Para fins de comparação, o trio do Baltimore Ravens, composto por Trey Hendrickson, Roquan Smith e Kyle Hamilton, ficou em 10º lugar. A defesa geral dos Steelers é vista de forma mais favorável do que a unidade dos Ravens, apesar da diferença de uma posição no ranking dos trios.
