Steelers Burning Question: Does the age of rookies matter?

The Pittsburgh Steelers had seven players drafted in the 2023 NFL Draft, and they all are different ages as they begin their professional football careers.

For reference, here are the ages of the Steelers’ rookie class:

  • OT Broderick Jones (21 when drafted, now 22)
  • CB Joey Porter Jr. (22)
  • DL Keeanu Benton (21)
  • TE Darnell Washington (21)
  • OLB Nick Herbig (21)
  • OL Spencer Anderson (22)

Of course, most rookies are around the same age as seen on the list above, but there are exceptions.
