Defending AFC North champ Steelers retool around Big Ben

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH STEELERS New faces: RB Najee Harris, LB Joe Schobert, LB Melvin Ingram, OL Trai Turner, C Kendrick Green, TE Pat Freiermuth. The defense features one of the league’s best players in outside linebacker T.J. Watt and the team believes Alex Highsmith can fill in capably opposite Watt after Bud Dupree left for Tennessee. While Pittsburgh is high on rookie running back Najee Harris, taken with the 24th overall pick, if the line can’t find a way to consistently get push, it might not matter how elusive Harris is. New offensive coordinator Matt Canada will try to find creative ways to get Harris the ball, and he might have to if the line doesn’t take a major step forward.
