One of the more ignored positions in modern football is the stacked linebacker. 

And while Pittsburgh has their starters at the position under wraps, it's never too early to plan for the future.

Pittsburgh Steelers Round 6 Draft Fit: Kentucky LB Trevin Wallace 

Wallace is built like a traditional LB given his 6-1, 244 LB frame, which is the model for the Steelers as they continue to go back to the basics with more traditional style linebackers. 

But as you can see, just because Wallace is built like linebackers of yesterday, it doesn't mean his skillset isn't modern.
