The Pittsburgh Steelers have been longing for a face of its defense since the retirement of Troy Polamalu, and they finally have it in former Michigan Wolverine linebacker, Devin Bush.

Bush’s fiery personality and incredible sideline-to-sideline ability will conjure memories of Polamalu’s insane playmaking ability and in a city like Pittsburgh where good players on defense get elevated to stars, Bush has a good chance of becoming the team’s most popular player in the post-Antonio Brown/LeVeon Bell offensive era.

Bush was arguably one of the two or three best pure football players in the 2019 NFL draft. So, yeah, he’s a great candidate to wear the crown as the league’s best defensive rookie this fall.
