Kelvin Beachum Signs With Cardinals, Joining Marcus Gilbert, Sean Kugler

If I told you that the Pittsburgh Steelers used their top two picks on offensive linemen in 2012, and that, entering the 2020 season, they still have two linemen taken in that draft class in the NFL, you probably wouldn’t be surprised.

It gets a little more surprising when you’re reminded of the fact that they also addressed the offensive line in the seventh round that year—and that one of the two linemen from that class who is still in the league is in fact that seventh-round lineman: Kelvin Beachum.

While he’s no longer in Pittsburgh, he went on to have a successful post-Steelers career, primarily with the New York Jets, starting 45 games over the past three seasons.
