Tap title to read story
The Pittsburgh Steelers bypassed quarterbacks in the first and third rounds of the NFL draft, instead selecting running back Kaleb Johnson (83rd overall) and defensive tackle Derrick Harmon (first round). Johnson, coming off a standout 1,537-yard rushing season at Iowa, will compete for playing time with Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson. The Steelers lacked a second-round pick due to a trade. Prominent quarterback prospects Shedeur Sanders and Jalen Milroe remain undrafted.
