Steelers 2023 53-man roster prediction in the middle of the free agent frenzy

Defensive line (6): Cam Heyward, Larry Ogunjobi, DeMarvin Leal, Montravius Adams, Isaiahh Loudermilk, Keondre Coburn (rookie)

A lot of things have been accomplished already with the Steelers defensive line this offseason. Even though a lot has been done, there is still plenty of work left on the board. Cam Heyward returns and should be back to his normal dominant self for the upcoming season. DeMarvin Leal will hopefully have a great camp and show a jump from his rookie season to year two.

Re-signing Larry Ogunjobi was a huge deal for Khan and company as they needed someone to fill out the other end spot on the line. He hopefully returns with a better overall health aspect to his game in his second time around with the team. Isaiahh Loudermilk and Montravius Adams fill out some important depth roles in the trenches. Neither of them had a great 2022 season, but they will try and bounce back with lower expectations this time around.

In an ideal world, Adams and Loudermilk would have some quality competition pushing them for their jobs, but that does not seem too likely. Keondre Coburn is an interesting name that the Steelers picked up in the draft in this universe to become the starting nose tackle on the line. He should be able to plug rushing lanes and provide a small amount of pass-rushing ability in certain instances.
