5. Cam Thomas, DL

The highest graded player for the Steelers this preseason per Pro Football Focus, Thomas has been an absolute beast.

The massive nose tackle gives Pittsburgh some beef in the middle, but he’s also providing an added option in the pass rush department. He’s played 74 snaps this preseason and has 3 QB hurries and 2 QB hits.

He doesn’t have a sack yet, but he’s making life tough on opposing QBs. Thomas had a down 2014 season, so Steelers fans are right to worry whether or not this preseason has been a bit of a mirage, but his production thus far is really nice to see and hopefully he can keep it up against the Bills on Saturday afternoon.
