The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping their small, but significant, 2020 NFL Draft class will continue to transform the team in their second year as professionals. The team’s top three draft picks, Chase Claypool, Alex Highsmith and Kevin Dotson, will all be starters in 2021, and expectations couldn’t be higher.
When it comes to filling the shoes of their predecessor, Highsmith has the biggest shoes to fill. Bud Dupree might not have been the dominant player most expected, but by the end of his time in Pittsburgh he had put together a very solid career.
