There isn’t going to be a lot of mystery surrounding the players who make the Pittsburgh Steelers final roster. But there are some spots that will be tightly contested. We don’t know which 53 players will make it but here are three guys every Steeler fans should be rooting for to stick around.

LB Ulysees Gilbert III

The Steelers have a handful of young linebackers on the roster who will be trying to hang on to back up Devin Bush and Vince Williams. But none bring the type of athleticism and excitement Gilbert does. He flashed his playmaking last preseason but won’t get the chance this time around. Nevertheless, if you want speed on defense, you don’t want to let Gilbert get away.
