The Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 class is easy enough to remember, right? Kenny Pickett in the first round. George Pickens in the second round. And then…wait, who was their third-rounder?
At this point, some fans might not be able to answer that. It’s hard to blame them. The answer is DeMarvin Leal, and he’s hardly seeing the field right now.
Leal had an impact as a rookie. It was a turbulent year full of position changes, switching to a hybrid d-line/outside linebacker role when T.J. Watt partially tore his bicep in Week One. Leal himself injured his knee mid-way through the year, spending a month on IR, but came back to finish out the season.
