Middle Linebacker – Devin Bush
He’s got everything: speed, attitude, fearlessness, playmaking ability, intelligence. What more do you want?
Perhaps the greatest linebacker to wear a Michigan uniform — yes, we said it — didn’t care that he was “undersized” entering the NFL draft, as he had the complete package. And starting 15 of 16 games for the Steelers last year, the No. 10 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft proved his mettle, with 109 tackles, 9 for loss, one sack, four fumble recoveries and two interceptions. In his first season. As a rookie.
It’s no surprise that he made the PFWA All-Rookie Team, given that he has everything you need to excel at middle linebacker. Thus, we have his as ours. However, we took another, in case we do a 3-4 on certain downs.
