“They don’t have a ton of depth,” Wilson said via CBS Sports HQ Spotlight. “Steelers followers would inform you they do at edge rusher. They do not. They do have T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. After that, Nick Herbig, who’s within the final yr of his rookie deal. And then, Jack Sawyer, who they received in Day 3 final yr — who’s an excellent participant, not nice but. I feel Van Noy provides versatility and that he can play off the edge, despite the fact that he is 35. He can play off ball linebacker. He will be the inexperienced dot man and name the protection. And he can brings that locker room management which may be missing now that Mike Tomlin has sailed off into the sundown to be a part of us within the media.”
Van Noy, who was chosen by the Detroit Lions within the second spherical of the 2014 NFL Draft however made a reputation for himself with the New England Patriots, has recorded 561 mixed tackles, 57 sacks, 14 compelled fumbles, and 4 interceptions throughout his 12 yr NFL profession.
A succesful backup at both edge rusher or inside linebacker, Van Noy could be a strong addition for the Steelers, but it surely’s troublesome to think about the 2024 Pro Bowler would settle for a depth position.
