2009 Steelers Draft Pick Kraig Urbik Makes First Playoff Start In Pittsburgh

During the 2009 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded out of the second round in order to acquire a pair of extra third-round draft picks. While not all of them ended up panning out for Pittsburgh, necessarily, they all have gone on to have successful careers—and they will be facing one of them tomorrow.

Among those three draft picks was offensive lineman Kraig Urbik. He was with the Steelers for the duration of the 2009 season, but never dressed to play. He did not make their roster in 2010, in part because they chose to retain the services of second-year undrafted free agent Ramon Foster, who was called to start as an injury replacement ahead of Urbik.
