PITTSBURGH -- That early 1970s Steelers defensive lineup was harder to crack, but what corner Artie Burns, safety Sean Davis and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave are doing is still quite impressive.
| Round/Pick | Name | Pos | College |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/25 | Artie Burns | CB | Miami |
| 2/58 | Sean Davis | S | Maryland |
| 3/89 | Javon Hargrave | DT | South Carolina State |
| 4/123 | Jerald Hawkins | OT | Louisiana State |
| 6/220 | Travis Feeney | OLB | Washington |
| 7/229 | Demarcus Ayers | WR | Houston |
| 7/246 | Tyler Matakevich | ILB | Temple |
The Steelers are starting three rookies on defense for the first time since 1971 with Jack Ham, Mike Wagner and Dwight White, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
