Moments after the 2023 NFL Draft wrapped up, the general consensus was that Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan and assistant GM Andy Weidl had hit a home run with the Steelers’ draft class, addressing a number of needs while adding some high-end players and getting great value.

Turns out, the Steelers’ 2023 draft class passed the test on the field with flying colors. Names like Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton, Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington all played key roles throughout the season, helping lead the Steelers to a 10-7 record and an appearance in the AFC Wild Card Round.
