Now that Pittsburgh has played each of its preseason games, here's a projection for the first Steelers' 53-man roster. While this exercise was relatively easy, there were a few tough decisions and one specific surprise in the form of a former third-round pick who enjoyed a solid training camp and preseason.

The Steelers have their four outside linebackers, and chances are, they aren't keeping five. DeMarvin Leal is going to be the odd man out, leaving him searching for a new team as roster cuts are made.
