With the 2025 preseason in the books, one Pittsburgh Steelers rookie made a name for himself: Yahya Black. When general manager Omar Khan doubled up on the interior defensive line in the 2025 NFL Draft, some fans questioned his motives. But Khan is already showing he knew exactly what he was doing.
In the preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Black played like he was shot out of a cannon. The big defensive lineman bullied the guys in front of him while showing some spark as a pass rusher. His performance was so impressive that it caught the eye of Brian Baldinger, who quickly did a film breakdown of Black after the game.
