There has been a common thread over the Pittsburgh Steelers’ last two draft classes. The team has always valued “hearts and smarts,” as they call it, but even more than usual, they picked guys in the 2024 NFL Draft who fit the Steelers’ brand. It is a blue-collar town, and the great Steelers teams of the past have all encapsulated that grit in different ways.
Bucky Brooks spoke about this on Move The Sticks as he was breaking down the different draft classes with Daniel Jeremiah and Rhett Lewis.
“There is something about a team that drafts to the brand, and I feel like there were a couple years that the Steelers didn’t necessarily draft to the brand,” Brooks said in a clip of the episode posted on X.
