DeMarvin Leal A ‘Young Knucklehead’ Who’ll Be ‘A Hell Of A Player’, Wormley Says

The Pittsburgh Steelers are by and large perceived to have had a reasonably successful draft class last year, even if that is largely shaped by the impact made by their top two draft picks, quarterback Kenny Pickett and wide receiver George Pickens. Outside of fourth-round wide receiver Calvin Austin III, who was injured, however, they got contributions from the rest of the group.

That includes third-round defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal, who despite missing a chunk of the season due to injury still managed to play close to 200 defensive snaps. He finished the season with 14 tackles and one tackle for loss with three passes defensed.
