In the days following the conclusion of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers received plenty of praise for the talent that they had accumulated, at least on paper.
On the field, that talent showed up in a big way, helping the Steelers go 10-7 on the year and reach the AFC playoffs where they lost in the Wild Card Round.
For their efforts, the Steelers’ rookie class of offensive tackle Broderick Jones, cornerback Joey Porter Jr., defensive lineman Keeanu Benton, tight end Darnell Washington, outside linebacker Nick Herbig, cornerback Cory Trice Jr. and offensive lineman Spencer Anderson received some high marks from NFL.
