Acquiring a new starter for the linebacker group would significantly help the Pittsburgh Steelers reach that goal, and these three players are the ones the organization should target.

As a multiple-time Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl winner, Aaron Donald knows a thing or two about finding success in the NFL, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to find a level of defensive success similar to what he had.

While it's not my belief that Heidenreich is destined for the Christian McCaffrey-like career some believe he is, I do believe that the former Navy Midshipman can become a valuable player for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
