## Resource

The Steelers’ run defense ranked dead last last season, exposing a glaring weakness that threatens their playoff chances. With Patrick Queen’s performance slipping and Payton Wilson still finding his footing, the team needs immediate reinforcement at linebacker. Enter Bobby Wagner — a 14-year veteran whose run-stopping prowess and leadership could anchor a much-needed upgrade. With new defensive coordinator Patrick Graham in place, adding Wagner isn’t just smart, it’s essential to build a more complete, resilient defense that can keep pace with elite offenses.
