There might be help on the way for the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line. According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, free-agent defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi is visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday.
Ogunjobi is a former third-round pick of the Cleveland Browns. He played 2021 with the Cincinnati Bengals and had his best season with seven sacks.
For Ogunjobi, it is all about his health. He suffered a significant foot injury in the playoffs last season and for any team to sign him, will need to show he can play. Earlier in the offseason Ogunjobi was set to sign with the Chicago Bears but failed his physical.
As far as the Steelers go, if Ogunjobi is healthy, he would be a welcome addition to the interior defensive line. Despite only being 305 pounds, Ogunjobi plays with great power and leverage and can overwhelm offensive linemen.
Former Bengals’ DT Larry Ogunjobi, who had seven sacks last season, is visiting today with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per source. He recently visited with the New York Jets.
