Newest Steeler DeMarvin Leal ‘Can’t Wait To Get Back My Linebacker’, College Teammate Buddy Johnson

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have yet again bypassed the defensive side of the football with their most premium selections in the 2022 NFL Draft, but they didn’t hold off as long as they did last year, drafting defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal with their third-round selection last night.

An Aggie product, he is the third player from Texas A&M the Steelers have now drafted in the past two classes, joining 2021 fourth-round draft picks, offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr. and inside linebacker Buddy Johnson. He is quite familiar with the latter, as he told reporters last night after he was drafted.
