It’s not hard to spot the theme of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2023 draft. Or their entire offseason. Add big, physical, aggressive players on both sides of the football. That mission began in free agency with guards Isaac Seumalo and Nate Herbig along with defensive pieces like nose tackle Breiden Fehoko, Armon Watts, and linebacker Elandon Roberts.
Pittsburgh cranked the dial to 11 in the draft. It added OT Broderick Jones in the first round, CB Joey Porter Jr. and DL Keeanu Benton in the second round, and TE Darnell Washington in the third round. All huge figures for their position with strength and physicality.
