For Third Consecutive Year, Steelers Retain Entire Draft Class Under Omar Khan

Related Topics: Omar Khan, Ryan Watts

For the third year in a row, the Steelers have retained the entirety of GM Omar Khan’s draft class. This year’s marked the most surprising yet, though like last year, it most likely comes with at least one caveat. A year ago, the Steelers retained two of their rookie draft picks by placing them on the Reserve/Injured List. Neither ever came off the list, and one has since retired due to injury.

That player, Ryan Watts, remains the only Khan draft pick who is not currently with the Steelers. Among their 21 selections over the past three classes, 20 are on the 53-man roster or IR.
