Despite missing 11 games in 2020 with a torn ACL, Pro Football Focus has high hopes for Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush in his third NFL season. PFF put out their ranking of the top inside linebackers in the league for 2021.
We have yet to see everything Devin Bush is capable of at the NFL level. His rookie season for the Steelers was solid but not spectacular, and then injury robbed us of seeing his sophomore improvement after just a few games. Bush has flashed impact playmaking ability, but he needs to show clear improvement in consistency in Year 3.
Bush had a solid rookie campaign but wasn’t off to a spectacular start to his second season before suffering his knee injury. With playmakers like outside linebacker Bud Dupree and cornerback Mike Hilton both gone via free agency, Bush is going to need to make some serious strides to fill the void.
Pittsburgh drafted Pittsburgh No. 10 overall in 2019 after a big trade up. This only compounds the pressure on Bush in his third season to produce.
