With some concerns along the defensive line moving forward, at least from a depth and age perspective, the Pittsburgh Steelers landed one of the more exciting defensive linemen in the class in Texas A&M standout DeMarvin Leal.
Leal, who was an All-American in 2020 and 2021 in the SEC, was once projected as a top 10 pick heading into the 2021 season before sliding down the board due to limited production, eventually landing in the lap of the Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin.
Appearing on NFL Network’s draft coverage Saturday, Tomlin couldn’t hide his excitement for the newest defensive linemen in Pittsburgh, praising Leal for his talent and work ethic, adding that he’s still raw and has a bright future overall.
