The following is a list of defensive linemen on the Steelers roster that you might not know about.
Nick Eason, DE
Signed from the Browns following the 2006 season. Eason plays spot duty for the Steelers, normally when someone is injured. Eason is 29 years old.
Ra'Shon Harris, DE
"Sonny" Harris was drafted by the Steelers in the sixth round of the 2009 draft.
From Oregon, Harris, like Hood, is switching from defensive tackle to defensive end. Harris has decent speed for an end, but will have to learn the system, and that may take a year.
Steve McLendon, DT
McLendon is another rookie free agent. Lettering for all four years at Troy, McLendon is going to have to put on some weight if he is going to stick around for more than a year on the practice squad.
Scott Paxson, NT
Paxon was an undrafted free agent in 2006. Paxson spent time last year on the practice squads of the Steelers and Green Bay Packers. Paxson resigned with the Steelers in January.
Jordan Reffett, Defensive Lineman
Reffett signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent this year. He was team captain at the University of Washington, and won the Flaherty Award, which is given to the most inspirational player. He won that award twice.
The reason he is noted as a defensive lineman is because the Steelers have yet to give him a designation on position, which means they are still deciding which position he is best suited for.
