Yahya Black Unsure Of NT Possibility, Will Play ‘Wherever’ Along DL

Coming into the draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a massive need on the defensive line, specifically the interior. They addressed the position in the first round, taking Derrick Harmon. They then double-dipped on the interior with Yahya Black in the fifth round.

The Iowa product brings a lot to the table. However, with a few new faces on the defensive line, Black’s positional fit remains up in the air. Speaking to the media after practice at the Steelers rookie minicamp on Saturday, Black was asked if he’s going to be taking any reps at nose tackle.

“Couldn’t tell you,” Black responded, via team-provided audio.
