The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a 9-8 season where their young players played a substantial in the team’s overall success. Second-year RB Najee Harris posted his second-straight 1,000-yard rushing campaign and TE Pat Freiermuth took a step forward, becoming one of the better pass-catching TEs in the league. However, Pittsburgh benefitted greatly from their 2022 rookie class who were forced to contribute early and often, having the likes of QB Kenny Pickett, WR George Pickens, and RB Jaylen Warren become focal points on the offensive side of the football.
ESPN agrees, ranking the Steelers 10th overall in their 2022 Rookie Class Rankings based on total production according to Aaron Schatz and Alex Vigderman.
