MOBILE, Ala. — The Pittsburgh Steelers traditionally have stayed away from non-Power 5 schools in the first round of the NFL Draft, but they may need to make an exception this year with Toledo CB Quinyon Mitchell.
Mitchell, ranked 19th overall in NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah’s top 50 prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft, put together back-to-back impressive seasons for the Rockets, bursting onto the scene in 2022 after notching five interceptions (two returned for touchdowns) along with a whopping 19 pass deflections. He followed that up with another 18 pass deflections and one interception in 2023.
