The longer things go on, the more it feels like Ryan Shazier won’t be back on the field for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He’s still walking with a cane. Can anybody expect he’ll ever be the player he was before his unfortunate neck injury? The Pittsburgh Steelers may have to come to terms with this at some point and work to find a long-term replacement. Anfernee Jennings is a great place to start. Alabama is a consistent program and producing quality linebackers in the NFL, particularly of the 3-4 inside types. He excels playing downhill against the run, can bring the blitz and shows enough lateral agility and speed to cover enough ground in pass defense.
