Steelers Lose Out On Super Bowl MVP In PFF’s 2006 NFL Re-Draft

The 2006 NFL Draft had quite a few big names in it, including former Heisman Trophy winners Reggie Bush and Vince Young. It also had some intriguing big-name defensive pieces like AJ Hawk, Mario Williams and Haloti Ngata.

Within that draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves sitting at N0. 32 overall, coming off a win in Super Bowl XL over the Seattle Seahawks. The Steelers could have gone in a number of directions with that pick. Instead, they decided to trade up to No. 25 overall with the New York Giants, landing wide receiver Santonio Holmes out of Ohio State.
