Outside Linebacker

  1. T.J. Watt
  2. Bud Dupree
  3. Ola Adeniyi
  4. Alex Highsmith
  5. Tuzar Skipper

The Steelers look good at the outside linebacker position going into 2020. They have star outside linebacker TJ Watt and Bud Dupree coming back on the other side. It would be nice if the Steelers could get a long-term deal done with Dupree.

The Black & Gold also have plenty of depth at the position. Ola Adeniyi has flashed in preseason and training camps and I think this year is the year he contributes heavily as a top backup.

Alex Highsmith might be my favorite draft pick of the Steelers in 2020. He has it as an outside linebacker and as a pass rusher and just needs to show he can do it in the NFL.

Tuzar Skipper also deserves a chance to be on the team because he flashes as a pass rusher. He will be battling all camp for a spot on the team.
