Kevin Colbert, Steelers Attracted By DeMarvin Leal’s Athleticism: ‘He’s Got Some Linebacker-Type Movements’

For the second year in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft class skewed, at least at the top, heavily toward the offensive side of the ball. At least this year, they fit a defensive player into the second day of the draft, using their third-round selection on Texas A&M defensive end DeMarvin Leal, who joins the most experienced position group on the depth chart.

Listed at 6’4”, 280 pounds, Leal is an interesting athletic prospect that the Steelers will likely want to get into the lab before making a final decision about at what weight exactly they want him to play.
