44. Ryan Shazier — Linebacker — Pittsburgh Steelers

I don’t know about you, but I feel like Ryan Shazier has been in the league way more than three years.

Perhaps it’s because he’s a prototypical Steelers player — tough and hard hitting.

The Steelers have a certain type of player they like to draft when it comes to defense and Shazier certainly fits that mold.

Shazier, a former Ohio State Buckeye who was Pittsburgh’s first round pick in the 2014 draft, was elected to his first career Pro-Bowl in 2016. He finished the 2016 season with 87 tackles, 3.5 sacks and 3 interceptions.
