Defensive Line (6)

  1. Cam Heyward
  2. Javon Hargrave
  3. Stephon Tuitt
  4. Tyson Alualu
  5. L.T. Walton
  6. Joshua Frazier

The Steelers defensive line remains fully intact from last season. The starters are the same and rightfully so.

The depth remains the same also with the addition of draftee Joshua Frazier. Big Dan McCullers gets the ax as he has failed to develop into the player Pittsburgh wanted when drafting him.

Alualu and Walton continue to provide the depth they gave in 2017. The pair stepped up and played very well in their rotation.

It is imperative that the starters get regular rest to stay fresh all game. Offenses are fast paced and they need the freshest legs out there to contain the opponent.
