During the week of the NFL Combine, all of the prospects at the combine will meet with multiple NFL teams. One confirmed meeting was the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mack Wilson.

According to Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Steelers and Wilson met on Saturday. The Steelers need help at the inside linebacker position—thus, the reason why they met with Wilson.

Since Ryan Shazier suffered a tragic injury in 2017 that made his career in the NFL be put on hold. Shazier suffered a spinal injury that has caused him to rehab to hopefully make an NFL comeback someday.

Although it's hard to replace someone as talented as Shazier, the Steelers have been unable to fill the void of his absence. This year, the Steelers will likely make the inside linebacker position a priority.

The Steelers scheduled inside linebackers Devin White and Wilson at the NFL Combine. This shows that they are possibly interested in taking one with their first-round pick.

Wilson has been rumored to possibly fall into the second round, so drafting him on Day 2 could potentially happen. His ability to defend the pass as an inside linebacker is a very well liked trait of his.

Of course, Wilson played college football at Alabama so he constantly had NFL scouts watching his games meticulously. With the Steelers currently starting Vince Williams and Jon Bostic at inside linebacker, they absolutely want to improve at the position.

Meeting with a guy like Wilson at the NFL Combine is a step in the right direction for a Steelers organization that is going to have a tumultuous offseason—losing Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.
