Pittsburgh Steelers Exit Meeting: DE DeMarvin Leal
Experience: 3 Years
Steelers DE DeMarvin Leal is facing a critical season in 2025, his last year under contract. A third-round pick in 2022, he has done little in his first three seasons. While last year was marred by injury, he showed little promise before that.
But the Steelers also knew that Leal would be a player who needed development when they drafted him. Not only was he young, but they would ask him to do much at an atypical size. He is not ideally suited for any one role in a 3-4 front, so they have emphasized his versatility.
