While the Steelers will certainly see some contributions from their rookie class, these four prospects have way too high of expectations as of now.

The Steelers landed nine solid draft prospects during the 2021 NFL draft. While quite a few of these rookies will see some playing time this season, there seems to be some word being spread about how much of an impact this class will have right away.

Najee Harris is a slam dunk starter assuming he can stay healthy, but after that, it would be wise to temper expectations.
