The Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves a gem in rookie 3rd round pick out of Charlotte, Alex Highsmith.
Highsmith will probably be the starter in 2021 for the Steelers, this is assuming that Bud Dupree does go elsewhere in search of more money. With that being said, this is certainly not the first time the Steelers have found great talent outside of the power conferences in college football. Ben Roethlisberger was from the University of Miami(Ohio). Antonio Brown and Diontae Johnson were from Toledo and Central Michigan.
