Central Michigan CB Donte Kent wasn’t on my radar in the slightest when the Pittsburgh Steelers made him their final seventh-round selection of the 2025 NFL Draft. But he may end up being another late-round gem for the Steelers when it’s all said and done. Football Gameplan’s Emory Hunt was surprised he didn’t get talked about more in the pre-draft process.

“Donte Kent was an underrated player,” Hunt said via Ross Tucker’s YouTube channel. “I was shocked that not a lot of people were talking about him out of Central Michigan. Very good selection.”

Kent spent five seasons at Central Michigan and had over 50 combined tackles in each of his final four seasons there.
