For the last couple years, former Steelers CB Ike Taylor has served, unofficially, as a scout for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is not listed as such on the team website, but he was spotted on the Pro Day trail on behalf of the team numerous times, and he has spoken about his scouting role during multiple podcast appearances. This means he was at least tangentially in on the conversations surrounding the Steelers’ last couple draft classes, and he expects big things from a trio of defensive players entering their second seasons in the NFL. Those players are DT Keeanu Benton, CB Joey Porter Jr.
