His presence will make T.J. Watt better
If there’s anything Highsmith can do for the Steelers defense he should allow guys like Watt and Dupree to come off the field more without such a significant drop in the level of play. Last season, when Chickillo came in for Watt or Dupree, you knew there would be no pass rush. This forced the Steelers to really rack up the reps on the starters.
