Ben Roethlisberger Praises Steelers Draft Class

The 2025 NFL Draft is now over. The Pittsburgh Steelers had two clear intentions during this draft. They understood the holes across their roster that needed to be addressed and wanted to get more physical overall. All things considered, the Steelers’ draft class looks like an impressive one.

Physicality was something they looked at early and often with their selections. Starting in the first round, with the 21st overall pick, the Steelers decided on Derrick Harmon, a DT out of Oregon. Harmon’s certainly a likeable person, and former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is high on him as well, speaking on his Footbahlin podcast in a new episode that aired Wednesday.
