Devin Bush Tipped For a Big Year by Shazier

Rookie Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush is going to be a defensive star, according to his teammate Ryan Shazier.

Devin Bush was drafted with the 10th overall pick by Pittsburgh in the 2019 NFL Draft. Commentators suggested that Devin Bush could be the new Ryan Shazier.

How fitting it is then, that Bush has been learning from Shazier all summer. Shazier backs his rookie rookie counterpart to have a big year.

The Steelers will be hoping as much too, as their defense was suspect at times last year.

“To me, I think Devin’s going to have a great year,” Shazier said.

“He’s been showing amazing progress every day while he’s been in camp. You’ve seen the way he plays. He had 10 tackles in the first half (against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers). Sometimes it’s hard for people to get 10 tackles in two games.

“I think he’s going to make a lot of splash for us. He’s going to be a big-time player for us. I don’t want to put too many expectations on him but I know one of his goals is to win defensive MVP and I want to do whatever I can to help him out. I think he’s not gonna be that far away from it. I think he’s gonna have a great year.

“A lot of times he might ask me some questions when things might go on in meetings. Sometimes we might watch film together,” Shazier added. 

“I had some great leaders when I played and I’m just truly thankful for the player I am because of the insight they gave me. So sometimes I give him some insight. I don’t know if he’s listening to it or not, but I just kinda try to give him the insight I wish someone would’ve gave me.”
