Defensive Line

Stephon Tuitt

Javon Hargrave

Tyson Alualu

LT Walton

Johnny Maxey

Daniel McCullers is reportedly a third team nose tackle by Alex Kozora and that indicates he won’t make the team.

Outside Linebacker

Bud Dupree

James Harrison

TJ Watt

Anthony Chickillo

I have the Steelers keeping only four outside linebackers with numbers needed at other positions.

Inside Linebacker

Ryan Shazier

Vince Williams

Tyler Matakevich

Steven Johnson

Matakevich is earning the top backup role and that leaves a spot for Johnson to make it as a special teamer.
