The Steelers were asking Aaron Donald if he could play linebacker?

    Not surprised, the Steelers have been doing that since the Cowher days. It wasnt believed he had the measurables to play on the line and the Steelers dont run a 4-3.

    Who knows, maybe he would have been a great edge but more than likely he’d never have had the HOF career he did.

    I suspect OP posted this as part of his Steelers bashing agenda but it failed

    Actually kudos to Tomlin and his staff for finding out ahead of time before acquiring a player who was a square peg and didn’t fit

    I assume this was from when he was being drafted and not recently

    I guess the guy who wrote this doesn't know the history of the Steelers D even before Tomlin, or all the types of players they've turned into OLB. LoL

    I've had the hots for her since I was a young teen. I believe her, and her husband own the Atlanta Hawks.
    She also played in one of my most watched movies , Crossroads

    Good lord.....someone please send Alex K some tape of something to watch.

    I like his stuff....but this is just content filling.

    It would be a story if the Steelers PASSED on Donald because of whatever the heck. But....he went off the board before their pick.

    DT given how Pittsburgh was slowly moving away from that in 2014 anyhow.

    Problem solved.

    This is a nonstory anyway since Donald was off the board by the time the Steelers drafted that year.

    Eh, sub packages. You dont convert to a full 4-3 during a draft.

    My point exactly.

    Pittsburgh had DT but not due to formation. Due to sub packages. That was my argument.

    Or, one would hope, they would be smart enough to adapt to the Hall of Fame talent if he had fallen to them.
