How will the Steelers do against Kyler Murray?

The Steelers will face the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft. This is a quarterback who has had mixed results this season but has the potential to be a Russell Wilson type of quarterback. He has been average overall but he is still in his rookie season.

The Steelers have never faced the Oklahoma product and so it will be new territory for them. I give the Steelers defense the edge because they are more experienced than rookie Kyler Murray.

The Steelers pass rush is very good but Kyler Murray also has the ability to be mobile in the pocket. The Steelers will have to strong in their pursuit of Kyler Murray.

The Black & Gold also have an advantage on defense because Murray doesn’t have a lot of talent around him. Larry Fitzgerald is still decent in the offense, but he isn’t the playmaker that he was early in his career.
