The Pittsburgh Steelers felt that they needed to reinforce their defensive line this offseason with some young, pedigreed talent, and they managed to address that concern via the draft with the third-round selection of DeMarvin Leal out of Texas A&M.
Leal played a lot on the end for the Aggies, and the team has him listed at 290 pounds (according to Nick Farabaugh, he said that he’s currently around 300 pounds). Following the draft, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said that he believed the school kept his weight down for their own purposes, but that he believes the rookie has the frame to add weight and muscle without hindering his athleticism.
