While the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker corps has some fantastic talent and the starters have likely been decided, the 53-man roster has not. One player making an awful lot of noise and could earn himself a spot on the Steelers final roster is outside linebacker, Tuzar Skipper.

Tuzar Skipper has been quite the surprise for the Steelers’ defense so far this preseason, as Skipper has recorded nine total pressures, seven defensive stops and a forced fumble en route to a 90.4 overall grade across 112 defensive snaps this preseason.https://t.co/2HZEFP3z4k pic.twitter.com/8kxKeFUskH

Skipper is making big plays and has not squandered any opportunities that he has been presented with. The Steelers exciting young linebacker has tallied a sack in each of the team’s three preseason games and has an opportunity to make it four straight games on Friday against Carolina.

While his confidence may be gaining some serious momentum, Skipper will need to continue to make plays going forward, but there is a possibility Friday could be his last chance. All the signs are pointing in a very positive direction for the undrafted rookie out of the University of Toledo. There’s no reason to believe Skipper can’t continue to make plays going forward if the team does choose make him a part of their final roster.
