In his years of experience, Graham has often used a 3-4 base, which has been a trademark of the Steelers.<\/p>\n
Though he’s been on Las Vegas squads over the past four years that have struggled mightily, he’s a highly respected DC in league circles.<\/p>\n
One shining light for the Raiders as of late has been defensive end Maxx Crosby<\/a>.<\/p>\n With the Steelers, Graham will find a squad flush with pass-rushing talent in T.J. Watt<\/a>, Alex Highsmith<\/a> and Nick Herbig<\/a>. Veteran defensive tackle Cameron Heyward<\/a> also remains one of the NFL’s top talents at his position.<\/p>\n The Steelers defense was a hallmark of Pittsburgh success during the majority of Mike Tomlin’s 19 seasons as head coach. However, last season it ranked just 26th in total defense.<\/p>\n The cupboard is hardly bare with defensive talent, but it’ll be up to Graham now to reshape the unit into the impressive form of Pittsburgh autumns past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In his years of experience, Graham has often used a 3-4 base, which has been a trademark of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":718096,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[1227,7,88,6,609,57],"class_list":{"0":"post-718095","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-around-the-nfl","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-no-minute","13":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115987521786622374","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/718096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
