## Resource

The Steelers’ new defensive scheme under Patrick Graham is poised to drastically reshape linebacker roles, especially for Payton Wilson. With a heavy emphasis on nickel and dime packages, Wilson’s chances of staying in base defense—and securing consistent playing time—are fading fast. Already overshadowed by Patrick Queen last season, Wilson now faces an even tougher battle as linebackers may see only half the snaps. The team is also exploring non-traditional “money” linebacker roles, potentially opening the door for safeties or cornerbacks. Wilson must dramatically improve his run defense this offseason or risk being sidelined—or worse, replaced. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
