Steelers’ Competition Message To Crowded DL Room: ‘If You Want To Eat, Go Take Your Food’

If there was one position primed for the Pittsburgh Steelers to double dip in the 2025 NFL Draft, it was the defensive line. Not only was it one of the Steelers’ biggest needs entering the draft, but it’s also one of the deepest position groups in this year’s class. They addressed it right away in the first round with Derrick Harmon and then in the fifth round with Yahya Black.

Defensive line coach Karl Dunbar has a lot of new clay to help mold into a dominant unit, but the room is suddenly crowded and there are only so many roster spots to go around.
