Patrick Queen is a professional American football linebacker currently playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the National Football League (NFL)[1][4]. Born on August 13, 1999, in Ventress, Louisiana, Queen stands 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 232 pounds[4][6]. He played college football at Louisiana State University (LSU), where he developed into one of the team’s top defensive players. His breakout season came in 2019, when he earned Defensive MVP honors in LSU’s national championship victory over Clemson, capping a year in which he started 11 games and was known for his versatility and leadership on a historically dominant defense[2]. Queen finished his LSU career with 131 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks over 41 games (16 starts), opting to forgo his senior season to enter the 2020 NFL Draft[2]. Queen was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the first round (28th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft, making an immediate impact as a starter[2][4]. Over four seasons with the Ravens, he became a consistent presence on defense, known for his tackling ability, speed, and sideline-to-sideline range. By the end of the 2023 season, he had amassed 133 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and an interception in a single season, reflecting his steady production[7]. In total, through five NFL seasons, Queen has recorded 583 tackles, 14.5 sacks, and 4 interceptions in 84 career games (all starts)[1][7]. Ahead of the 2024 season, Queen signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, marking a notable shift within the AFC North division and adding experience to the Steelers’ linebacker corps[1][7]. His move was one of the highlights of Pittsburgh’s offseason, as the team sought to bolster its defense with proven talent[1]. Queen remains a relevant figure in the NFL as a durable, productive linebacker entering the prime of his career, now contributing to one of the league’s most historic rivalries between the Steelers and Ravens[1][4]. Off the field, Queen is recognized for his work ethic and has been noted for mentoring younger players during his college years[2]. As of 2025, he continues to be a key defensive player for the Steelers, with his performance closely watched in a competitive AFC North[1][4].
