NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Ola Adeniyi is being hailed for his three games of work on defense, and properly so.
On just 40 snaps, he leads the team with 2.5 sacks and in the win against Indianapolis he did great work to offset the absence of Bud Dupree.
He had minimal chances on defense in three years with the Steelers, maxing out at 144 snaps last season, per profootballreference.com.
Adeniyi is the team’s No. 1 example of following through on Mike Vrabel’s urging that players find a role.
