‘We Feel Fortunate’ To Have Yahya Black, Khan Says: ‘He’s Only Gonna Get Better’

When the Pittsburgh Steelers were looking to add additional size and depth to their defensive line on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, Iowa’s Yahya Black was a prominent player available.

He was already productive in the Black and Gold of the Hawkeyes, and early in his tenure with the Steelers, the fifth-round pick has been everything the Steelers expected him to be.

At least, that’s how GM Omar Khan sees Black. Appearing with Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller of Movin’ the Chains on SiriusXM NFL Radio Friday night from Latrobe Memorial Stadium, Khan spoke highly of the rookie defensive lineman, who has had some disruptive moments so far in training camp.
