The Pittsburgh Steelers are halfway through the NFL season and with the trade deadline past us, it’s another step closer towards the 2024 NFL Draft.
Last year, with the No. 32 pick, the Steelers selected Joey Porter Jr., the son of Joey Porter, who played with the franchise from 1999-2006. In this year’s draft, another son of a top defensive player from the 2000s is draft-eligible. With the No. 21 pick in Bleacher Report’s mock draft, the Steelers are slated to take Clemson linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
“The Steelers could use some help at linebacker and taking an NFL legacy feels on-brand for the franchise,” Bleacher Report scout Matt Holder said.
