Over the course of their history, the Pittsburgh Steelers have drafted 11 players from the University of Wisconsin. Last night, the team added their twelfth.
With the 30th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Steelers welcomed outside linebacker T.J. Watt as the twelfth man in their Wisconsin fraternity.

That player being former Wisconsin defensive lineman Darryl Sims.
