Defensive Line (6)

  1. Cameron Heyward
  2. Stephon Tuitt
  3. Daniel McCullers
  4. Tyson Alualu
  5. Chris Wormley
  6. Isaiah Buggs

The Steelers pride themselves on defensive line play and this year they look to have plenty of talent and depth at the position. Heyward and Tuitt are among the league’s best 3-4 defensive ends.

There is a downgrade on this team though. Daniel McCullers is the new starting nose tackle after losing Javon Hargrave. McCullers has a lot of potential though with his big frame and having played for the Steelers for five years.

The Black & Gold have plenty of depth this year on the defensive line. Tyson Alualu was a top 10 pick in the league and although he was never a great starter, he has been a reliable backup for the Black & Gold.

Chris Wormley is a nice addition and really gives the team more depth. For where he is on the depth chart, he is a good player in that role.

Isaiah Buggs will continue from where he left off last year and I hope he can take a step forward this year. You never know when they might need him.
