Stock crashing for Steelers former first-round pick
Nobody likes to admit when they're wrong, but the Steelers seem to be with LB Devin Bush.
Bush, the 10th overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft, has underwhelmed since his solid rookie year. In Week 16, he played 21 defensive snaps behind linebackers Myles Jack and Robert Spillane.
Now in his fourth season, Bush has yet to eclipse any stat he posted as a rookie.
Bush's rookie contract expires at the end of this season. With it unlikely the Steelers will re-sign him, another hole will be created on their roster for 2023.
Spillane played 100% of the defensive snaps vs. the Raiders in Week 16, but if Pittsburgh is eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17, should the team see what it has in rookie LB Mark Robinson?
Robinson, a seventh-round pick in 2022, is viewed more as a project after making the switch from running back to linebacker as a senior in college.
With Bush's stock crashing, the stocks of Spillane and Robinson could be on the rise.
