Steelers Dress And Play An Entire Draft Class (Plus An UDFA), Likely For First Time In Franchise History

Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers marked the first time in franchise history in which the team not only culminated in every player dressing for at least one game, just eight games into their careers, but also the only game in the history of the organization in which an entire draft class dressed for the same game.

Granted, it’s much simpler to dress an entire class when you only draft six players (though college free agent James Pierre has also dressed for every game of the season), but nevertheless, it is an accomplishment, and actually one that would not have been possible under previous rules, as sixth-round pick Antoine Brooks is on the practice squad, and dressed under the new elevation rules that were put in place in 2020.
