Ogunojobi recorded 48 tackles, 1.5 sacks, seven tackles for loss and 11 QB hits last season. He rejoins Cam Heyward along the defensive line, with DeMarvin Leal and Isaiahh Loudermilk providing depth. 

The Steelers are still currently searching for a nose tackle, but could utilize the later free agent market or the NFL Draft to do so. Currently, Motravius Adams is the only nose under contract in Pittsburgh.

Ogunjobi comes as the second Steeler to re-sign, following Damontae Kazee. The Steelers could continue adding their own players, including Robert Spillane and Terrell Edmunds.
