During the 2025 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers added three former Iowa Hawkeyes to their roster: RB Kaleb Johnson in the third round at 83rd overall, DL Yahya Black in the fifth round at 164th overall, and S Sebastian Castro as an undrafted free agent. The addition of three Iowa players from a single draft class marks a rarity for Pittsburgh as it had only selected three Hawkeyes since 1992 before that with DL Logan Lee coming last year in the sixth round, LB Mike Humpal in 2008, and RB Mike Saunders in 1992.
Is it a coincidence that the Steelers added three Iowa players during the 2025 NFL Draft?
