Ziggy Hood's Missouri Tigers were known more for their offense than their defense, but this quick cat looks like a future NFL starter at defensive tackle. See how Hood impressed scouts at the Senior Bowl on Draftguys TV. Distributed by Tubemogul.
"...The Steelers... will primarily use the hefty former Tiger in defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau's famed radical take on the 3-4 scheme as a defensive end, not a space-eating nose tackle. Hood, who spent his career at Missouri playing as a traditional defensive tackle in a 4-3 alignment, may see some time in the middle when the Steelers go to a nickel package..."

@ThaReaper01 Actually, Ziggy plays DE in a 3-4, AKA the 5-technique, which lines him up directly opposite the other team's offensive tackle (i.e., Oher). Ziggy and Oher have both played the left and right side for their respective teams, so they may or may not line up across from one another. But it's certainly possible, since Ziggy isn't a nose tackle and never was. Either way, what you said makes no sense.
Yeah it sucks that Aaron is out for the season. Hopefully he'll get more playing time now but I think Travis Kirshkie will start now and hopefully Ziggy will get to back him up instead of Nick Eason. At least he'll be getting more playing time now, he hasn't gotten much playing time at all this year.
