Former Steelers LB is healthy and Pittsburgh needs to be paying attention

Last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers saw a huge bump in the play at inside linebacker. This was in large part due to the contributions of Kwon Alexander. The Steelers signed Alexander late in the free agency process and ended up paying big dividends.

Alexander posted the hype video below on his social media showing he is healthy, in shape and ready to play. Be warned, the accompanying music is NSFW.

Last season, Alexander appeared in nine games with only two of those starts. Alexander finished the season with 41 total tackles along with an interception and a forced fumble. Alexander’s season was cut short by a torn Achilles.

With it seemingly less likely that Cole Holcomb is going to play in 2024, Alexander would be an ideal addition. The Steelers have veteran Elandon Roberts, big-money free agent Patrick Queen and superstar rookie Payton Wilson.

Alexander came in as a rotational player last offseason and fit in perfectly and he could do the same again in 2024.
