For Two Potential Steelers Defensive Linemen, Pre-Draft Visits Become Essential

Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers broke a long-standing trend of having the head coach or general manager personally attend the Pro Day workout of the team’s first-round pick. Every selection from Maurkice Pouncey in 2010 through Broderick Jones in 2023 checked that box. Washington OT Troy Fautanu didn’t. A West Coast trip is rare but wasn’t made, o-line coach Pat Meyer flying out in their place. Instead, Fautanu came in for a pre-draft visit to meet the Steelers’ decision-makers. For DL Derrick Harmon and Kenneth Grant to be on the team’s 2025 shortlist, they need to make a pre-draft pitstop to Pittsburgh.
