The Pittsburgh Steelers defense seems to have finally turned a corner from doormat for the NFL’s top offenses to one of more respectability. It’s not perfect of course but there’s been progress and they should have every reason to keep it going as much as possible. Raekwon Davis is the exact sort of guy who fits who they are. Big, powerful, physical, and relentless in his playing style. He’s a perfect 3-4 defensive end thanks to his body type and long arms. Stopping the run is his primary ability but his 10.5 sacks in 2017 proved that he has latent pass rush potential if the team who drafts him learns how to unlock it.
