The 2025 NFL Draft class of the Pittsburgh Steelers was more of a meat and potatoes draft class than anything else, as GM Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin focused on adding physical, tough players to the roster.
Khan and Tomlin accomplished that goal, adding a pair of run-stuffing defensive linemen in Oregon’s Derrick Harmon and Iowa’s Yahya Black. They also added a physical, downhill linebacker with some NFL bloodlines in Washington’s Carson Bruener, and added a relentless player in Ohio State OLB Jack Sawyer.
It wasn’t just on the defensive side of the ball, either, that the Steelers added physical, tough players.
