The Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie draft class had a pretty good night, even considering that two of them—fourth-round wide receiver Calvin Austin III and seventh-round quarterback Chris Oladokun—did not play. First-round quarterback Kenny Pickett threw two touchdowns and led a game-winning drive, while second-round George Pickens also scored a touchdown.
Seventh-round linebacker Mark Robinson, meanwhile, forced a key late fumble to set up the game-winning drive, and third-round defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal flashed in his one-on-one battles. Connor Heyward, the sixth-round h-back, also found his way into the end zone for a two-point conversion, a rookie-to-rookie connection Pickett called for.
