It’s that time of year where Pro Football Focus releases its rankings ahead of the 2020 season.
PFF ranked the Steelers third, just behind the San Francisco 49ers and (the despised) Baltimore Ravens.
Here’s a snippet of what PFF’s Anthony Treash had to say about the Steelers D.
The trio of [T.J.] Watt, [Cam] Heyward and [Stephon] Tuitt is a force to be reckoned with and will be the toughest matchup of the year for any offensive line on the Steelers’ schedule.
Fitzpatrick produced an 87.6 coverage grade after being traded from the Dolphins, the sixth-best at the position. He certainly proved he could be one of the best deep safeties in the game for Pittsburgh.
In addition to Fitzpatrick, The Steelers have three of the NFL’s top-25 cornerbacks in their secondary [Joe Haden, Steven Nelson, Mike Hilton].
PFF does give credit where credit is due — to Watt, Heyward, and the secondary. The 49ers and the Ravens are stacked on defense, but the Steelers have the potential to outdo both of them in 2020.
