The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t “need” Jack Sawyer, but they’re sure glad to have him, and he could make their draft. That is the opinion of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Gerry Dulac, who has written about the team’s recent mid-round linebackers. Nick Herbig in 2023 and Payton Wilson in 2024 worked out well, with high upside left untapped. If Sawyer could approach that, he could represent a real score.
Or as Dulac put it, “Getting Sawyer in the fourth round could be another potential jackpot for the Steelers”. Of course, the real potential “jackpot” is QB Will Howard in the sixth round, just by virtue of his position.
