Interview: Texas A&M DL Shemar Turner Talks Ideal Fit, Meeting With Steelers

With the lack of a splash signing in free agency, the Pittsburgh Steelers sent a clear signal that they will shift their attention to the 2025 NFL Draft to secure the future of the defensive line. They have shown interest in the position throughout the entire pre-draft process, including a heavy focus on the DL group at the East-West Shrine Bowl and the Senior Bowl this year. One intriguing player who could fit what the Steelers look for is Texas A&M DL Shemar Turner.

Turner was scheduled to attend the Senior Bowl, but he didn’t participate. During his appearance at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, Turner clarified what made that decision.
