Steelers Excited About Getting ‘Redshirt’ Draft Picks Back For 2025: ‘Could Have Helped Us Last Year’

The Pittsburgh Steelers got some positive contributions from half of their rookie class, but the rest spent the season injured. Four of their seven draft picks landed on the Reserve/Injured List for most of the 2024 season. Only two spent time on the 53-man roster, both appearing in one game.

That doesn’t mean the Steelers have forgotten about them by any means. After all, the group includes first-round OT Troy Fautanu, who entered the starting lineup before his season-ending injury. Third-round WR Roman Wilson could also be an impact player in 2025.

With the unusually large number of injuries, the Steelers will likely treat this offseason like a bonus half-a-draft class.
