Steelers Rookie Class Ranked NFL’s Second-Best

For Omar Khan, his first NFL draft could be tough to top. The return of his 2023 group already looks impressive. And in NFL.com’s ranking, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie class received the silver medal. Compiled by Eric Edholm and Chad Reuter, Pittsburgh’s group came in second place.

Aggressive in his first draft as general manager, Khan moved up three spots to select Georgia OT Broderick Jones, a shrewd move given the lack of tackle depth in the 2023 class. Jones earned a regular starting role by Week Nine and helped elevate the Steelers’ running game, becoming a strength and potent weapon down the stretch.
