Which Steelers player is under the most pressure in 2022?

Despite the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to move on without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, expectations for this team don’t change. Be competitive, push for the playoffs and win games.

This means every man must do his job from the coaches to the players. But which player is under the most pressure to perform this season?

The easy answer here is whoever ends up being the quarterback whether it’s Kenny Pickett or Mitch Trubisky. But there are other players on the roster who will feel the pressure as well.

The top of the line is inside linebacker Devin Bush. Injuries and underperformance since being drafted have now come to a head and he’s playing for a new contract. Now more excuses for the guy the Steelers traded up to get.

Another linebacker who puts the pressure on himself is T.J. Watt. Coming off of his first Defensive Player of the Year award, Watt has set his own bar incredibly high and says he has work to do.

Cast your vote and let us know which player you think has the most pressure to perform this season.
