The NFL Draft continued last night, with the Steelers picking up a wide receiver in Round two and a defensive lineman in the third.
The Steelers chose Georgia’s George Pickens with their second round pick, marking the fifth time in the last six drafts that the Steelers have picked a wide receiver between picks 49 and 66. The 6-3 195 pound Pickens had five catches in four games in the 2021 college football season. In 2020, he had 36 receptions and six touchdowns, and had 49 catches and eight touchdowns in 12 games in his freshman year of 2019.
The other pick made was DeMarvin Leal, a 6-4 283 pound defensive lineman from Texas A&M. He was tied for 5th in the SEC with 8.5 sacks and tied for ninth with 12.5 tackles for a loss. He lead Texas A&M in both categories and was first-team All American last year.
