Jason Worilds finds himself in a situation many players face on a yearly basis: a young guy trying to replace a superstar.

But Worilds' situation is unique. The former second-round pick is trying to replace a former NFL Defensive Player of the Year in James Harrison while holding off the advances on the starting job by first-round pick Jarvis Jones.

He wouldn't have it any other way.

Finally healthy and having completed an uninterrupted offseason training regimen for the first time, Worilds is geared up to make the Steelers forget about Harrison and wait a year before anointing Jones as a starter.

“I told him: ‘Are you going to rise to the talent or lay down?” linebacker coach Keith Butler said.

Worilds plans on rising up.

He has been penciled in as the starting left outside linebacker since the start of spring practices, and that's continued through the first weekend of training camp.

Butler sees a different linebacker than he has had in the past. The reason: Worilds finally had an offseason to prepare.
