Although the Steelers didn’t keep any of their rookie undrafted free agents, or UDFAs, on the 53-man roster, they’re still well represented. Of the eight original UDFA signings, four made the practice squad. It also has two other undrafted rookies who signed later, giving them six additional players from the class of 2025.
Having kept their entire seven-man draft class on the 53-man roster or the Reserve/Injured list, and the six UDFA on the practice squad, the Steelers currently employ 13 rookies. Of those 13, only one player initially signed with a different team. That would be CB Daryl Porter Jr.
