The Pittsburgh Steelers trading up into the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft to select Wisconsin defensive end Isaiahh Loudermilk was a bit of a surprise to most. That said, Loudermilk does fit what the Steelers look for in defensive linemen and especially from a measurable standpoint. Loudermilk is now going through his first set of OTA practices with the Steelers this week and in doing so, that gives his fellow defensive linemen teammates a chance to get an initial impression of the young draft pick.
On Thursday, veteran defensive lineman Tyson Alualu addressed the media after the teams OTA session and during his interview he was asked about Loudermilk and what his first impressions are of the Wisconsin product and how he thinks it’s going for him so far.
