Good afternoon,
Jason Worilds has been ranked as the second-best linebacker available in free agency, according to RotoWorld, a highly-regarded site that covers professional sports, including the NFL.
The list came out this morning.

Fernando Valesco is rated the eighth-best center.
They rank LaRod Stephens-Howling as the 14th best running back, Jonathan Dwyer as No. 15 and Felix Jones No. 20. Former Steeler Rashard Mendenhall is ranked seventh among the halfbacks.
Emmanuel Sanders is ranked as the No. 9 wide receiver, Jerricho Cotchery No. 17 and Plaxico Burress No. 44 among the 45 they ranked.
David Johnson is listed at No. 20 among tight ends and Michael Palmer No. 25.
Former Steeler Willie Colon is rated the No. 3-best guard available in free agency. Also at guard, former Steelers Jamon Meredith is ranked 14th and Chris Scott No. 22.
Brett Keisel is 15th among the 35 defensive ends rated. They put Ziggy Hood at defensive tackle, where they rank him 16th among the 40 defensive tackles on their list with Al Woods at No. 30.
Stevenson Sylvester ranks 29th of the 30 inside linebackers on the RotoWorld list, but Jamaal Westerman is ranked five spot above him.
Ryan Clark is listed 10th among the 40 safeties with Will Allen at No. 34. Former Steelers sfaety Ryan Mundy is No. 23.
Of the five punters listed, Plum native pat McAfee is No. 1, and two who played for the Steelers last season, Mat McBriar and Zoltan Mesko, are listed 4-5 respectively.
Only three of the Steelers impending 21 unrestricted free agents are not on the RotoWorld rankings – Cody Wallace and Guy Whimper, and they do not list long snappers, so Greg Warren is not mentioned.
