Linebacker Jason Worilds, blocked by a wrist injury and two Pro Bowlers in front of him his first three seasons with the Steelers, broke through with his best season in 2013, and it’s about to pay off for him. Worilds is ranked as the second-best linebacker available in free agency, according to RotoWorld, a highly regarded site that covers pro sports, including the NFL, and released its ratings Friday. The only outside linebacker ranked ahead of Worilds is Brian Orakpo of the Washington Redskins, a first-round draft choice in 2009 who has made three Pro Bowls. Free agents can sign with other teams beginning March 11, but they can re-sign with their own team anytime before. Although the Steelers have not identified which players they would like to sign, president Art Rooney II, in a recent chat with Steelers ticket-holders, mentioned only one player when asked who he would like to keep. “Jason Worilds is certainly somebody who came on and showed what he can do, particularly over the second half of the season,” Rooney said.
