24. Pittsburgh Steelers

Te'von Coney . 24. player. 55. . ILB. Notre Dame

With inside linebackers, teams love to look for athleticism but the truth is what matters more at that position is instincts and tackling prowess. Te’von Coney has lots and lots of both. That’s why he’s always around the football for Notre Dame, never seeming fooled by whatever an offense is doing. He’s not a supreme athlete but he’s got enough to not be a liability in any facet of the game. Given how limited the Pittsburgh Steelers are at that position since the loss of Ryan Shazier, he could give them some sorely needed stability at a key position in their front seven.
