A Legacy of Excellence

The Steelers welcome another member of the 30 Club to their maturing defense.

We have great depth behind the starters in the 3-4 . Ziggy Hood take over RDE anytime this season. Foote and Sylverster quality at MLB . Worilds waiting in the wings with Cam Heywood. The only real impact player missing from last year who actually made plays might be Nick Eason. We should really be fine this year and address NT pretty early in next years draft.
Im gonna add Farriot to my jersey collection as hes overdue and still playing and Timmons at the end of the year.
