Steelers Now

● By Alan Saunders
Everyone has a Pittsburgh Steelers mock draft, but no one has one like this one. The Senior Bowl week wraps up today with the college all-star game held at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the campus of South Alabama at 2:30 p.m on NFL Network. While the game will be played today, the evaluators have all flown home. Their focus this week is on the three days of practice and the meetings and interviews in between, where they get to know these players and try to figure out what makes them tick. Plenty of players made some money in that process, impressing NFL teams and moving up draft boards, while some others likely also dropped in the eyes of the league, and that goes the same for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Every year, after the week of practice, I create a mock draft for the Steelers, entirely based on players that were here at the Senior Bowl. And despite the fact that very few of the top players available are in Mobile, I’ve had a pretty decent track record with this. I correctly picked Keeanu Benton to the Steelers in 2022 and Zach Frazier in last season’s Steelers Senior Bowl mock draft.
