The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason has begun. The focus on the draft here at Still Curtain is full speed ahead and with that, I bring you the Film Room series covering a new prospect at a position of need for the Steelers every time.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ linebacker search makes one last stop for this series. The product of Alabama University, Rashaan Evans.

Alabama has been a defensive juggernaut for some time now. Their linebackers have had a great run in which they have had a linebacker taken in the first round in three of the last four drafts.

Alabama’s success as translated to the NFL as Reggie Ragland, CJ Mosley, and Reuben Foster (until his recent arrests) are all shaping up to be center pieces to their team’s defenses.

Alabama plays hard-nosed defense and gets some of the best linebackers in the country. These linebackers are among the most physical and instinctual linebackers in all of college football year in and year out.

Rashaan Evans is the latest linebacker to make his way out of Alabama in the 2018 NFL draft. He is no Mosley, but he will be an impact rookie in the 2018 season somewhere.
