With the 254th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft (27th in the seventh round), the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Georgia Tech punter Pressley Harvin III, the only kicker or punter (and one of only three specialists) chosen with a pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Here is an introduction to the Steelers’ new leg.
BACKGROUND
Hailing from Alcolu, South Carolina, Harvin was a pure punter for the Sumter Fighting Gamecocks in high school, earning his place on two all-state teams while playing on a state runner-up team as a sophomore. Harvin has the best punting average in South Carolina as both a junior and senior.
