Mike Tomlin ‘Really Pleased’ With Play And Maturity Of Rookie Draft Class

While there is a lot of angst regarding the current trajectory of the Pittsburgh Steelers as a whole, there is perhaps one area in which fans can take solace. The nucleus of the franchise is drafting well, and they had a pretty strong draft class in 2020, despite a limited number of selections and no pick in the first round.

They may not have had any of their rookies named to the Pro Bowl or similar post-season accolades, but second-round wide receiver Chase Claypool, third-round edge rusher Alex Highsmith, and fourth-round guard Kevin Dotson all started several games this past season and contributed at a high level.
