Being a top-10 pick in the NFL Draft comes with high expectations and replacing an icon for the Pittsburgh Steelers — Ryan Shazier — adds to that. Both statements become truer when that top pick was acquired on the basis of a bevy of picks given up. Devin Bush, the No. 10 overall pick and an inside linebacker, is said player facing pressure via lofty expectations.

Bush, formerly of the Michigan Wolverines, isn't phased by expectations. He knows what he has to prove, as he told USA Today‘s Jarrett Bell.

“That I belong in this league, That I was the right choice for this team. To give up that many picks and put that many high hopes on me. I’m out to prove I’m not a bust.”

The Steelers have placed an insurmountable amount of pressure on the 21-year-old Bush. He figures to be the savior of the inside linebacking corps that they've desperately needed since Shazier's injury. Though Mark Barron and Vince Williams are on-board, moving up for Bush indicates Pittsburgh won't rest on their laurels with the rookie. He's going to play immediately.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told USA Today Sports after Sunday's practice:

“We didn’t move up in Round 1 to take him so he can watch. We moved up for that guy to play football.”

Luckily, Bush can play football. Despite his lack of size (5-foot-11, 240-pounds), he earned many fans entering the draft. In his last season at Michigan, Bush tallied 65 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and four pass deflections. He ran a blazing 4.43 second 40-yard-dash at the NFL Combine as well.
