Last season the Pittsburgh Steelers lost multiple starting inside linebackers over the course of the season. It isn’t clear if Kwon Alexander or Cole Holcomb will be returning so it only makes sense the Steelers would be scouting inside linebackers in the upcoming 2024 NFL draft.

According to NFL writer Ryan Fowler, the Steelers spent a significant amount of time with Texas A&M inside linebacker Edgerrin Cooper at the East/West Shrine Game. Cooper is considered the top inside linebacker in the 2024 NFL draft and projects as a second-round pick.

Alexander and Blake Martinez are both free agents and Holcomb is coming off of a season-ending injury and has a $7.64 million cap hit for the upcoming season. The team does have veteran Elandon Roberts returning but Cooper would be a great young player to bring in and learn next to Roberts.
