For a third-round draft pick, Texas A&M defensive tackle DeMarvin Leal has really seemed to fly somewhat under the radar within the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft class. Taking a quarterback in the first round after your 18-year-veteran franchise quarterback retires will do that for you, but their second- and fourth-round wide receivers have also drawn much more attention—as has sixth-round h-back Connor Heyward, thanks to his family ties.
But with the Steelers finally in training camp, and the eyes on him, Leal actually is getting noticed. Our own Alex Kozora is just one of a number of observers who have come away impressed with what the rookie has shown in the very early stages of his journey.
