Related Topics: Pittsburgh Steelers

We’re continuing our Pittsburgh Steelers “what they look for” study, using data from the team’s draft picks during the Mike Tomlin era and how it applies to the 2024 NFL Draft class. The benchmarks and minimums the team seems to look for and finding which prospects this year check all the boxes.

After starting with an offensive focus, examining tackles and wide receivers, we’ll follow with a pair of defensive groups. Yesterday, we looked at the defensive ends. Today, we’ll check out the inside linebackers, a position group Pittsburgh seems likely to address in the middle or late rounds of the draft.
