The Pittsburgh Steelers’ focus is on Sunday’s matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. But in a quick preview of what the discussion will eventually shift to, ESPN’s latest mock draft has Pittsburgh landing a lanky corner near the end of the first round. Field Yates gave the Steelers junior Kentucky CB Maxwell Hairston with the 27th overall selection.
“When studying Hairston’s 2023 film over the summer, his instincts and feel for the game stood out to me. He has a subtle way of knowing the perfect time to attack and create turnover opportunities. That has continued in 2024, accumulating 1 pick-six (his sixth career interception), 2 forced fumbles, 5 pass breakups and 1 sack over seven games.
