Os jogadores do Pittsburgh Steelers compartilharam comentários positivos na terça-feira sobre a defesa da equipe e o novo coordenador Patrick Graham antes da temporada de 2026. O linebacker agente livre Kyle Van Noy e o safety DeShon Elliott destacaram o talento e a versatilidade do elenco.

Kyle Van Noy afirmou que Graham é um treinador sólido que se sairá muito bem com os Steelers. "Ele tem muito talento, provavelmente o maior talento que ele já teve desde a época de New England", disse Van Noy no podcast Games with Names.

DeShon Elliott elogiou a adição de Jaquan Brisker e Jalen Ramsey. "É bom ter mais um 'cão de briga' em campo", disse Elliott através do canal dos Steelers no YouTube. Ele também aplaudiu a capacidade de Ramsey de jogar em múltiplas posições.

O ex-jogador da NFL, Chris Long, observou que as dificuldades da linha defensiva em 2025 o impedem de classificá-la entre as melhores unidades da liga. Ele citou jogadores como T.J. Watt e Cam Heyward, mas apontou o Houston Texans e o Denver Broncos como exemplos mais fortes.
